Saying your students are "apathetic" is a common excuse when students don't participate in SG, attend your events, or vote in your elections. But you're probably not giving students a reason to care about your SG.
TRUTH #1: Most students don’t care about their SG.
TRUTH #2: Many students don’t even know they have an SG!
Why?
ANSWER: Your Students do not believe your Student Government is relevant to their lives.
To be RELEVANT to students, your SG MUST DO something that MATTERS: Signature Programs make students care about your SG.
