CHP Student Government Association
The College of Health Professions Student Government Association (CHP SGA) is composed of representatives and officers.  The number of representatives from CHP is designated by the MUSC SGA each spring semester.  The SGA representatives are elected the first semester on campus by their classmates and/or the CHP student body to serve during that year.  In the summer, the CHP SGA officers are elected from the student body to serve the following year.

CHP SGA meets on the first Wednesday of each month.   During these meetings, the association discusses problems and suggestions voiced by the students of the college and plans activities throughout the year.  Projects in the past have included hosting a Field Day for the Charleston area Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs, donating toys and food to the Ronald McDonald House, collecting food for the Lowcountry Food Bank, participating in Habitat for Humanity, and hosting the Student/Alumni Oyster Roast.
