SGA election applications

Lincoln Land Community College Student Government Association. LLCCIt’s Student Government Association (SGA) election application time, and no one knows better than you those students who might have an interest in serving in this capacity and who would be dedicated to the role! We would love a ballot full of students in all different programs and majors, involved in a variety of activities at LLCC, and eager to represent their fellow students. Please encourage student leaders to apply!

The 2023-2024 SGA Election Packet went live on Monday, March 20. This packet includes more information about SGA, each of the positions and qualifications for candidacy. Positions include: 

  • Executive Board (President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary, Public Relations Officer) 
  • Student Trustee 
  • Representative positions 

All positions within SGA carry with them the potential to supercharge a student’s leadership and resume experiences. If you know of students who exemplify some of the best qualities of our student body, please reach out to share this opportunity with them. They will appreciate knowing you think they are up for the role — even if they decide not to run! You are welcome to share names with us as well and we will email letting them know that someone thinks they would be an asset to SGA. 

SGA applications are due by 11:59 p.m. on Monday, April 3. SGA and LLCC Student Life will host recruitment events while the application is open so interested students can ask current members or the advisor questions. Those events will be posted on the Lincoln Landing App.
