Student Leadership

ASSP student sections are member communities specifically for student members aspiring to become safety professionals — offering leadership, education and networking opportunities.

ASSP student sections exist at select colleges and universities. They are designed for student members pursuing careers in the occupational safety and health (OSH) field. They provide additional opportunities for students to learn more about their chosen areas of study, promote interaction between students and safety professionals, and offer excellent, resume-building leadership opportunities for student section officers. Because student sections are housed at colleges and universities and supported by nearby ASSP chapters and regions, these groups offer the added benefit of local networking.

If you are a student pursuing an undergraduate or advanced safety-related degree, student membership is for you. Student dues are $15 per year and include one free practice specialty and common interest group. Learn more about the specific qualifications and benefits, apply now, or contact the chapter Advisor listed below!

The Student Government Association (SGA) serves as the voice of the students at Athens State University. It provides leadership experience to students and serves as a bridge connecting students, organizations, and the campus community.

Students active in SGA learn about leadership, governance, and service while working with others to achieve common goals. Students are elected to the positions of President, Vice President, and Marketing Coordinator. Senator positions are appointed by the President. 

Throughout the Spring and Fall semesters, SGA hosts and/or sponsors events that bring our students together. From movie nights in McCandless Hall to Meet and Greets with State Legislators, SGA is always working to make Athens State an active and interconnected community for our student body. 

SGA is open to all students currently enrolled at Athens State University. All students may attend SGA meetings, but active SGA members are those who attend at least two meetings per semester and two events per semester. Active members have the option to purchase SGA chords for graduation.
