Isabella Ali and Samara Smith started leading the Student Government Association (SGA) in May 2024 after winning their election.

Some of the achievements of SGA since they began leading are:

  • implementing a permanent Displaced Students Support Committee for students to join DePaul's online degree program when their education is at-risk in foreign countries
  • SGA hosting several food pantry events to provide nutrition to DePaul's students
  • Increasing transparency by publicly appearing before media and sending out communications before things happen in SGA and at-DePaul, not after

About the Student Government Association (SGA)

The Student Government Association is the official representative body of the students of DePaul University. We are one of three facets of the university governance structure (SGA, Staff Council and Faculty Council) comprised of an Executive Branch and Cabinet, a Senate, and Student Organization liaisons representing every student constituency at DePaul.

In the past, SGA has led the charge in a number of key issue areas including, but not limited to, fighting for the longevity of the Monetary Award Program (MAP), collaborating on the creation of kosher and halal meal plan options, creating the intercampus shuttle service between the Loop and Lincoln Park, expanding Vinny Van service to last for the entire academic year, calling for better safety infrastructure, expanding accessibility features in campus buildings, and more. This regularly brings us face-to-face with University administrators as well as state and local officials.
