Background on the Letter from the Student Body:
The Student Government Association (SGA) recently launched a new way to express student support called the Letter from the Student Body (LSB)—a platform for students to formally raise collective concerns or ideas to university stakeholders. Any undergraduate student may propose a LSB to the SGA. Once submitted, a two-week voting period is opened. During this time, at least 10% of the undergraduate student body must vote on the letter. If at least two-thirds of those votes are in favor, the letter is officially delivered to the designated recipient by the SGA.
The SGA's role is purely facilitative; it does not create, edit, endorse, or oppose the content of the LSB.

Total Undergraduate Student Body: 4,236 students
