The charge for this group is to be a conduit for communication and program development between students and our faculty and staff about student-centered issues in our department. This group gives students a leadership role to shape student experiences in our department; we value students' perspectives and opinions on how to enact positive changes. Students plan events, create and provide resources for students, and create programming that fits the department's and students' needs.
