18.2. Student Governance
The MPAS program identifies a faculty advisor who is responsible for coordinating elections in the first semester of the Program and establishing the student governance for that cohort of students. A President, Vice-President, Secretary/Outreach Chair, student representative to the SAAAPA, and student representative to MAPA will serve as the voice of the class under the guidance of the faculty advisor. The MPAS student government will participate in the Institute student governance process, provide guidance and organization for the class as a whole, and coordinate activities outside of the program curriculum, such as fundraising and participation in the constituent and national professional organizations’ meetings and conferences.
