Student Government - A vote of confidence

 At Roosevelt, we have deep roots in progressive democracy. We encourage all students to let their voices, opinions, concerns and requests ring across the campus through our Student Government Association (SGA). The Chicago SGA appoints student advocates to a range of university-wide committees solely dedicated to improving life at Roosevelt. For more information, contact us online.
