The Student Equity & Advocacy Committee
Smith College Student Government Association
About Us
The Student Equity & Advocacy Committee came together at the beginning of the Fall 2020 semester as a result of a small movement over the summer among low income and financially struggling students as well as from feelings of urgency to address the deep-rooted racism in academic institutions, inspired the national uproar against police brutality and systemic racism.
We noticed a clear lack of organization within the SGA that exists to serve marginalized students, and hope to fill that gap this academic year (and hopefully to continue to do so in the future). Our objective is to represent the general student body’s demands and concerns. Our intention is to partner with affected students over the academic year to advocate for informed, necessary changes on campus.
