Student Advisory Committee

The Student Advisory Committee consists of two representatives from each graduating class. This group comes together to discuss the Collegium program, share student perspectives, and provide student leadership and voice for the Collegium. They may be involved in recruitment events such as Scholarship Interview Weekend, informational meetings, and various recruitment lunches. They are ambassadors for the Collegium and represent their respective classes. This interchange between the committee and staff ensures that Collegium students maintain a voice and role in developing programming that will best address their needs.
