Student Engagement

Student Advisory Council

The Student Advisory Council serves as a volunteer council of students who provide insight, advice and recommendations on matters related to student life and engagement. The group meets with College leadership, faculty and staff to engage and discuss topics spanning student support, health/wellness, diversity/equity/inclusion, safety, campus activities and more.  The council supports student growth and leadership development while helping to foster a dynamic learning environment at the College through meaningful collaborations that promote scholarship, integrity and compassion.

College Committees

As part of the College governance process, students have the opportunity to collaborate with faculty and staff as student representatives on various College Committees.  This offers students an additional opportunity to actively participate in shaping College objectives, polices and procedures – enhancing the student experience.

Student Activities
