STUDENT COUNCIL

The Student Council will consider academic matters and any other matters that relate to being a student in the School of Medicine and/or the Graduate School. The Student Council will make recommendations via its Steering Committee to the Dean. The Steering Committee of the Student Council will hold two joint meetings per year with the Steering Committee of the Faculty Council. The agenda of these joint meetings will relate to issues of mutual interest to students and faculty. If faculty input is desired at other times, the President of the Student Council may request time for presentation at an additional meeting of the Steering Committee of the Faculty Council or at a meeting of the Faculty Council. Such requests will be made to the President of the Faculty Council.

The Student Council will be composed of twenty elected representatives: four from the Graduate School and four from each of the four Medical School classes. All elections will be completed by the end of the fourth week of each academic year. The Council will meet monthly during the academic year. Each representative will have one vote. All votes of the Student Council will be by show of hands unless there is a request for a secret ballot.

At the first meeting of each academic year the twenty representatives of the Student Council will elect a President, Vice-President and three additional representatives to serve on a Steering Committee. The five member Steering Committee will represent the Graduate School and each of the four classes in the Medical School. During the academic year the Steering Committee will meet monthly with the Dean.
