The Student Curriculum Council (StCurrC)
This body serves as an Advisory Council to the Curriculum Council.  The purpose of the StCurrC is to provide a mechanism for gathering constructive student input regarding the content, placement, and delivery of the curriculum, as well as all matters related to curricular operations in the College of Pharmacy.  Student members are asked to share their perspective on what is strong within the program and what can be improved upon. The Council may meet a couple of times each semester and be charged with providing input to the College's curricular mission.  There is one representative from each class, from each campus. This membership is continuous, meaning that when a student begins in Year 1 of the professional program, they remain a member until graduation.  The College looks for students interested in improving the learning environment, and who can demonstrate professionalism in discussions on shaping how the future of the profession will look like based on how the college prepares them today.
