First Year Council (FYC) is the biggest and best way to get involved in SGA as a freshman. Acting as the official representative body of the freshman class, FYC is an application-based extracurricular made up of 65 freshmen that meet once a week. As a councilor, you’ll learn how government works and how to turn ideas into solutions by passing and implementing legislation. But it’s more than just that. You’ll also receive the ultimate introduction to campus through guided leadership development opportunities that will give you a jumpstart on figuring out the things you want to care about during your time at UA. Being on FYC means you’re the go-to representative for SGA in your pocket of campus. You’ll listen to the concerns of your peers and work with your fellow councilors and other members of SGA to understand and address common challenges through the creation of policy and programs.
