Meet Your Student Government

The Hawai'i Pacific University Student Government Association (SGA) is your student governing body. Every registered HPU student taking at least one credit is a constituent of the SGA. 

We encourage all students to attend weekly meetings of the Student Senate and to voice your comments and concerns to the student Senators who represent you.

SGA is comprised of the Student Body President, Student Senate, Campus Activities Board (CAB), and Student Judicial Council.  For more information, please visit the individual pages of each branch.
