Silvana Gatto, of Brooklyn, Elected as Class of 2021 Student Leader at Assumption College

2017 Oct 16

The Assumption College Student Government Association (SGA) has announced that Silvana Gatto, of Brooklyn, has been elected, and will represent the Class of 2021 as Senator during the 2017-18 academic year.

The Student Government Association is the governing student body on campus, representing all undergraduate students. The purpose of SGA is to advocate for students and give voice to their opinions to enhance students' experience and encourage their participation in extra-curricular activities. Their work is guided by their Constitution and by-laws. Students elected to a leadership position in SGA contribute to the vibrant student life climate of the campus community and demonstrate honor, excellence and Greyhound pride.

"Assumption's Student Government Association is one of the most important student organizations on campus," explained Catherine WoodBrooks, vice president for Student Affairs. "Members of the SGA are elected by their peers to represent their voices in important campus issues. In addition to their peers, many members of the College's administration, including myself, rely heavily on the input of the students in these elected positions."

SGA is comprised of students elected from each class. These class officers work specifically for the purpose of fundraising, planning events for their class and ultimately their class' Senior Week.
