CHBS Student Advisory Board
The College of Health and Behavioral Sciences Student Advisory Committee provides support to the college in meeting strategic goals, communicating events and initiatives, and improving the student experience. Service on the committee requires attending one full board meeting each semester and picking areas of interest among the activities that are planned for the semester so as to provide leadership and direction for those activities.
