Students' Association of Health Sciences

The Student's Association of Health Sciences is the academic, political and social voice of students in the School of Health Sciences. Working together with students the SAHS Executive provides liaison with the School's Administration and ensures appropriate student representation on a variety of School and Faculty level academic committees.

Student Participation on School of Health Sciences Committees

Student input on School committees is essential in providing a comprehensive and balanced approach to the work of the School.  Student representatives are valued for their individual thoughts and opinions, their impressions of collective student opinion, and their ability to bring student issues and concerns committee attention.

The role of the student representative on School committees includes:

• providing a student perspective on the issues under discussion
• funneling student feedback to the committee
• communicating with students about the issues under discussion
