General Assemblies

General assembly meetings of the LSC-Tomball SGA occur at the beginning and end of each semester. ALL STUDENTS ARE WELCOME and encouraged to attend this event because it is a time where students can connect with campus leadership and administration, provide direct feedback to those leading the campus, answer and ask important questions, and even enjoy a little free food. At these meetings, campus leadership comes to the SGA and the student body to listen and answer questions that help improve the student experience and environment. At LSC-Tomball, the student voice is the loudest, and we are here to make sure that general assembly is one more way that we reflect the idea that each student is the most important student.

Leadership Structure     

The LSC-Tomball SGA Officers are elected annually by the student body and represent a diverse array of interests, club involvements, and backgrounds. The Executive Council of the LSC-Tomball SGA is made up of the 6 elected officers; President, Executive Vice President, Vice President of Programs, Vice President of Outreach and Recruitment, General Secretary, and the Finance Secretary.

SGA meets monthly during the academic year with the SGA Club Council, a group of delegates from every active registered student organization at LSC-Tomball, which act similarly to a board of directors, guiding actions of SGA, giving input on campus culture and student organization needs, encouraging collaboration across student organizations, and giving feedback to SGA officers on important issues.

Twice per semester, the SGA officers call for a General Assembly that is open to every student at LSC-Tomball. General Assemblies are held in person and streamed online. To participate, a student must sign in with their valid student ID. The General Assembly is the ultimate governing body of the SGA, giving input on student needs, providing student feedback, and ratifying or rejecting proposals from the SGA officers and SGA Club Council. The mandatory responsibilities of the General Assembly attendees are to review and ratify or reject any changes to the SGA Constitution and Nomination and Election Rules as well as consider any resolutions proposed by SGA officers, committees, or SGA Club Council, as well as those that may be proposed during the assembly.

Student Government Association Pack

The SGA Pack was created by the SGA leadership in the summer of 2022 to serve as an affiliate organization of SGA, where student leaders who desire to serve the student organizations, student body, and community can join together with other service-minded individuals to coordinate their efforts with SGA activities.  This group is ideal for student leaders and student volunteers who believe they aren't ready yet to become an officer of SGA or another student organization or they have time constraints that prevent them from being a part of an organization that needs a consistent time commitment. For students who want to join as a volunteer with The SGA Pack, reach out to lsctsga@lonestar.edu or scan the QR Code in the banner. We can get you signed up and make sure that you get all the information about upcoming events and service opportunities we will have that may fit with your schedule. 

• SGA Pack Game Days
• Volunteering at local animal rescues and nonprofit organizations
• Serving as volunteers as needed for on-campus student activities
• Community shred and electronics recycling events

Student Government Association Committee Meetings

Each year students from the LSC-Tomball student body serve on the standing committees for the SGA (Nominations and Elections, Administration and Bylaws, and Events) to propose amendments to the constitution, recommend rules regarding elections, and bring ideas about how to create events that will better engage the student body.

How We Get Involved

The LSC-Tomball SGA is fundamentally a service organization dedicated to supporting students, student organizations, and the broader campus and community. Its mission is to represent student interests and enhance the campus environment and student experience. Every action taken by the SGA is focused on these goals. Each year, SGA leaders and students seek out opportunities to embody the sense of community that defines a community college. If you would like to be apart of something bigger join SGA today! 

Annually, we collaborate with LSC-Tomball President, Dr. Lee Ann Nutt, to offer the Fall Forum with the President. Each year, Dr. Nutt makes time to join students in the teaching theater to answer questions from students, provide information, and gather feedback. She is joined by members of the administrative team from LSC-Tomball to make sure that the issues and ideas presented by students are given thoughtful and responsive treatment by the campus leadership. 

LSC-Tomball SGA Suggestion Box

Because at LSC-Tomball the student voice is the loudest, we are continually seeking student input. 

All suggestions, feedback, and information are taken by the SGA leadership to the appropriate campus leaders so that meaningful action can be taken, from individual issues and experiences to items that may need attention at a larger scale. 

We encourage you to click on the icon below to leave feedback and ideas in our digital suggestion box. We encourage you to be honest and think big with your ideas. We also encourage you to think realistically about what is achievable. Some things can be addressed quickly and individually. Other things may take collective action and committee work to be adequately addressed. And, some things, like those that challenge state law, federal law, and system policies, or require a large capital investment are likely beyond our capabilities.
