Student Government West Institute Delegate Packet
Student Government East Institute Delegate Packet

The NACA Student Government Institutes assist student governments in the development of strong, effective, student-driven leadership on campus. The Institutes are designed to help define the role of the student governments as liaisons for students and organizations.

  When joining NACA at one of these two Institutes, delegates will:

• Learn how to improve relationships with university officials and campus staff;
• Discuss ways to create a desired impression of the student government;
• Establish a plan for working with campus and local media;
• Learn to create school spirit and loyalty through collaboration with other campus groups;
• Develop a role for the SGA in fostering a strong town-gown relationship;
• Learn to create programs to ensure leadership transition from one year to the next;
• Gain ideas on how to use technology to maximize student government presence, programs 
   and services;
• Exchange resource materials with other school delegates through networking opportunities;
• Learn ways to recognize the diversity on campus and support the development of programs 
  to achieve this goal
• Learn to create unity in a student government where many opinions differ; and
• Develop strategies for campus outreach to provide the student government with the 
  knowledge it needs to make tough decisions and recommendations.

Registration for these two Institutes includes tuition, lodging, meals and educational materials.
