The goals of the Columbia College Student Government Association include unifying the student body through one shared system of self-governance, upholding the honor system, and promoting better citizenship by developing a feeling responsibility and providing practice in democratic living.

When one becomes a student in the Women's College of Columbia College, she becomes a member of the Columbia College Student Government Association. CCSGA provides a source of communication from the student body to the College administration, faculty, and staff, as well as external constituencies, a structure of democratic governance, and an orderly transition of governance from year to year.

She is a senior who is majoring in Accounting with a minor in Communication. She is a very active student on campus involved in organizations such as Student Government; Business, Economics, and Accounting Club; Omicron Delta Kappa, Student Senate, CC Players, Recycling Program, and much more. She is a Steppin' Up to Leadership graduate and has attended numerous leadership conferences at other campuses. She is excited to be starting her final year and looks forward to getting to many new students. She also looks forward to accomplishing many of the new ideas Student Government has for this year. Good luck everyone!!
