How to Get Involved with SA

There are a number of ways to get involved in SA. Besides attending events, joining groups, and playing intramurals, SA literally depends on UAlbany students to operate. Each spring elections are held for SA President, Vice President, and At-Large Senators, and each fall elections are held for Living Area Senators. The elected SA President and Vice President appoint and hire students to all sorts of positions from Comptroller, Directors of Marketing and Programming.
