Administrative History
The Civilian Student Union (CSU) formed in November 1930. The VPI Senate and VPI Honor Court both included representatives from the Corps of Cadets and the CSU. The Women Student's Union (WSU) during the 1934-1935 school session. In the 1939-1940 school year, the CSU separated from the joint Senate and combined with the WSU to form the Civilian Student Body (CSB). In April 1966, the CSB and Corps of Cadets's student body groups, including the Cadet Senate and Cadet Honor Court, combined to form the Unified Student Body. The following year, the name changed to the Student Government Association (SGA). The Virginia Tech Student Government Association (SGA) was a student-run organization who represented and advocated for students in university governance. The organization was divided into three branches, the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. In 2021, the SGA and Commission on Student Affairs [RG 9/3], which included the Student Budget Board [RG 9/3a], merged to form the Undergraduate Student Senate (USS) [RG 31/20].
