To serve as the official representative of the GU-Q undergraduate student body in all academic matters. Representing student's academic interests with various stakeholders.
To advocate on behalf of the GU-Q student body in academic matters.
To establish new academic initiatives in collaboration with the GU-Q academic staff.
To build community and interaction between and among students, faculty, the administration, and student groups within GU-Q.
Enhance the relationship between both Georgetown campuses by collaborating directly with the SFS Academic Council (SFSAC).
To further any SGA academic initiatives and student engagement activities.

SFSAC Collaboration
The GU-Q Academic Council (AC) is the Qatar campus equivalent of the School of Foreign Service Academic Council (SFSAC) on the Washington D.C. campus. The establishment of the AC came in collaboration with the SFSAC, to further this collaboration, the AC will send a campus representative to the AC every semester. One student who is going to study abroad will be elected or selected by the chair of the AC to serve as our campus rep. The AC representative will work in collaboration with both councils, representing the interests of the Qatar campus on the SFSAC. The representative will work closely with the chair of AC. The chair of AC will also work closely with the president of the SFSAC and with various subcommittee chairs in the SFSAC to work on cross campus projects.

Message from the Chief of Staff
As the chief of staff, a lot of my work has to do with the internal organization of the SGA. Such as maintaining our budget for our various projects and events, record keeping, and so much more. However, the part of my role that I am most excited about is something that I am the first to do, which is chairing the Academic Council (AC).
