COVID-19 Response Joint Governing Board (C-19R)

Overview

On March 18th and 19th, through a special legislative session in both the Undergraduate and Graduate bodies, SGA passed a resolution to allocate $50,000 to fund COVID-19 response efforts. These funds will be allocated by a Joint Governing Board with representation from both undergraduate and graduate students.

This board will take requests on ideas on how SGA can best support students during this time. More information regarding the charter of the board can be found here. For more information, please reach out to SGA’s Joint Vice President of Finance, Josh Eastwood, at finance@sga.gatech.edu.

NOTE: The board’s charter expired on June 30, 2020.
