Student Representatives
Our members and associates are why we exist.
Our student associates are the future of our member professions and the association; so we really care what you think.
We stay plugged in to what you need from us through the Director-Student. The Director-Student is an SAC student associate who has been elected to represent student associates on the SAC Board of Directors.
Representing the interests of student members across the country is a large task – and the Director-Student is still a student herself – so she is supported by a team of Student Reps from each school.
As a student associate, you have the opportunity to lead the trajectory of your national professional association by running for one of these rewarding and prestigious positions.
Your 2022-2023 Director-Student
