Every fall and spring semester, a new cohort of Columbia’s School of Professional Studies Student Government (SPSSG) representatives is elected by their peers to represent the School’s 18 master's programs as well as the entire student body.
SPSSG representatives serve as advocates for student interests, provide a vital link between SPS students and the administration, and are committed to creating a unified, informed, and engaged community for students across all SPS programs.
During their tenure, Student Government representatives also organize a wide variety of social, cultural, and community-building events throughout the academic year. Among the team’s marquee events is the annual SPS Friendsgiving, a festive dinner and celebration in collaboration with the Dean's Office and the Office of Student Life that raises money for Food Bank for New York City.
Ahead of this year’s graduation, this year’s cohort of SPS Student Government officers shared some of their most meaningful moments and achievements from their tenure at SPSSG.
