This student coalition will create a consistent feedback loop between students, alumni, organizations, faculty, and administration to address greater issues in the school. In turn, the purpose of the student committee will nurture the SARUP identity of student efficacy, collaboration, transparency, and quality.

Our proposed structure will create a sense of community through interacting, collaborating, as well as establish and utilize a network between various organizations and students throughout all programs at the school.
