STUDENT GOVERNMENT

The Office for Student Affairs is responsible for facilitating and coordinating student government in the School of Medicine. Each medical school class elects officers for the purpose of managing class business and activities, and for representing and advocating student interests in the USU community. Class officer positions are sanctioned by the university leadership, but are not extensions of the administration and are not elements of the military chain of command. The Associate Dean for Student Affairs serves as faculty advisor for all class officer groups and may share this responsibility with other faculty/staff members. The available class officer positions are:

  • President
  • Vice President
  • Academic Representative
  • Curriculum Officer
  • Secretary
  • Treasurer
  • Peer Development and Honor Representatives (2)
  • Social Representatives (2)
  • Information Technology Representative
