Student Government
The Student Government maintains primary responsibility for all student interests and involvement at Pratt. The Government has an Executive Committee and any undergraduate or graduate student can and is encouraged to become involved. The main function of the Government is to represent the student viewpoint.
In order to advocate for the best possible student experience at Pratt, SGA is invested with the responsibility, power and authority for the management of our own student life and academic affairs, in cooperation with and responsible to Pratt Institute.
Student Government uses Student Activity Fees to provide for the Pratt community through food for events, club budgets, and memberships to faculty, staff and students for museums. Here is a current list of museums (Spring 2021).
Do you have ideas for how things could work better? Please stop by our online office hours and give us any suggestions, comments or ideas you may have. No idea is too small and we’re here to help you and make the administration more responsive to students' needs. You can also directly email us at sga@pratt.edu.
