RHA vs. SGA

An ASGA member asked us to research the relationship between the Residence Hall Association and Student Government across the country. Of the roughly 2,000 residential institutions nationwide, 350 returned the ASGA survey. This may be the deepest research in history on this subject.

ASGA now offers this research to all members in our SG Database at www.asgaonline.com.

Mr. Research Here

I feel like my name ought to be Mr. Research. I just completed a project for one of our ASGA members in Pennsylvania. It was more than 30 hours interviewing 34 students, administrators, and staff, plus another 30 researching, writing, and editing a 17,000 word Consultant Report.

It's a whale of a lot of work and time invested. But I'm confident that the Report will give this ASGA member the Action Plan it needs to completely revamp its Student Government Association and make improvements that will last for years.

1,000 Members!

ASGA now has 1,001 member institutions! We passed the 1,000 "barrier" on Friday afternoon. Our Lady of the Holy Cross College in Louisiana was member #1000!

When ASGA was founded in 2001, we always had a goal of recruiting 1,000 member institutions. The more members ASGA has, the more resources we have to conduct research, support our members, and serve Student Governments everywhere.

Our eventual goal is to reach 1,500 member institutions. We're averaging about 125 new members a year, we'll reach 1,500 in about four more years.

It's exciting time at ASGA!
