Board description
The Division of Student Affairs Student Advisory Board exists to provide open dialogue and discussion between Missouri State University students and the Vice President for Student Affairs. This student board, open to both graduate and undergraduate students, has been charged with providing deliberate input to the Vice President regarding out-of-classroom experiences and student life.
In addition, this board seeks to provide the Vice President a glimpse into the lives of Missouri State students. The board will meet once monthly during the lunch hour to offer an additional voice to the Division of Student Affairs on current issues affecting students. Meetings are hosted by the Vice President for Student Affairs who requests input from students offering different aspects of student interest.
Board membership
This year, we are excited to announce that the Student Advisory Board has expanded to include nineteen members from Missouri State University. These students continue to represent a diverse range of organizations, groups, majors, and degree levels, bringing fresh perspectives and ideas to the board. Their increased numbers will enhance our ability to address the needs and concerns of the student body more effectively.
