Improve your SG & make new friends amid the colonial history of Boston
Stroll down the red-brick Freedom Trail to see famous sites like the Boston Common, the country’s first public school, Paul Revere’s house, and Bunker Hill Monument. Along the way, stop at Quincy Market to browse for souvenirs or sample some of the city’s best cuisine, from steamed lobster and fresh oysters to cream puffs and foreign fare. Spend a few hours wandering through the Museum of Fine Arts, Museum of Science, or the New England Aquarium. In the evening, catch a Sox game at Fenway, attend a performance of the Boston Pops, or head to Harvard Square to enjoy great pub food and have a pint with local students.

WHY
Because your Student Government deserves better! Don’t accept:
- Voter turnout so low it’s embarrassing
- Officer and committee positions no one wants to fill
- Students who don’t know your SG exists
- Administrators who don’t take you seriously
- Meetings that accomplish nothing
- A budget you don’t know how to spend
- Officers who leave office having changed nothing
- Average grade of 4,000 SGs nationwide: D-
- Average grade of SG web sites nationwide: F
You can do better. Every SG can. ASGA has spent decades helping student governments across the nation go from overlooked to indispensable. The knowledge, tools, and inspiration you’ll get at this conference will change how you lead — and what your SG can accomplish.
