The results for the 2026 Student Government Association (SGA) officer elections at Shippensburg University were announced on February 27, with the voting period running from February 23-26. This year's elections saw a notable decrease in voter turnout compared to the previous spring, with 63 voters casting their ballots compared to 301 voters in 2025. However, the race for each of the four SGA officer positions was uncontested, with current Vice President of Finance Emily Wojnarski elected as the next SGA president and current College of Arts and Sciences Senator Ryan Mills winning the election to take over her role. SGA Vice President Daniel McCleary and Vice President of Student Groups Chase Garrison were both reelected to their positions.
