Student Government
The Student Council is at the forefront of all student activities and serves as the liaison between students and administration, faculty, alumni, and the community. The Council promotes the welfare of students, organizes social activities and athletics, and promotes a professional attitude toward the University and the professions of audiology, optometry, physician assistant and low vision specialist.
Student Council Orientation Committee members work with the University Admissions Office to conduct activities to welcome the new entering classes.
Student Activities fees fund the Student Council, entitling each student to an annual yearbook, membership in one of several student professional organizations and contributing money toward each year’s class treasury.
Student Council representatives are sent to various conventions and meetings. Some of the more visible expenditures are social events, intramurals, and the yearbook. Less visible expenditures sometimes include contributions to guest lecture series, community projects and student projects such as Student Optometric Service to Humanity (SOSH).
