Dalton State Involve

A few small choices can make a big difference on the road - plan ahead, stay alert, and never be afraid to speak up. Think before you start the car.

Celebrating Leadership. Welcoming the Future.

On April 24th, we gathered in the Pope Student Center to honor an important moment for Student Government Association at Dalton State.

We extend our sincere gratitude to our outgoing SGA Senators and Executive Officers for their dedication, leadership, and commitment to serving the student body. Your impact has helped shape a stronger campus community, and we are grateful for the time, energy, and passion you gave to SGA.

We are excited to officially welcome and congratulate our 2026–2027 SGA Executive Officers and Senators, who took their oath of office at the induction ceremony:
