Student Association

The Student Association (SA) at SUNY New Paltz is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation, and the governing body of the student population on campus. SA helps to represent all SUNY New Paltz students, undergraduate and grad, and works hand in hand with the administration to ensure that student voices are heard. SA members sit on various university-wide committees and help with oversight of all of the fee-funded clubs and organizations on campus.
