Student Congress
M. D. Anderson Cancer Center School of Health Professions Student Congress is an elected student body designed to represent all program disciplines in the School of Health Professions.
The Student Congress consists of elected Congress persons who are representative of students from each of the programs in the School of Health Professions. This representative body will serve as a forum to enhance communications between the students at M. D. Anderson and at all distance learning sites, and the faculty and the administration of the School of Health Professions. The Student Congress will also elect students to represent the School of Health Professions on the UT System Student Advisory Council and the McGovern Center Student Advisory Council.
The Executive Committee elected by the Student Congress will serve as an advisory body to the dean, assisting the administration in reaching decisions on policy that concerns students enrolled in the School of Health Professions. The Executive Committee will also provide leadership to the Student Congress by identifying activities that will broaden the intellectual, cultural and recreational opportunities and capabilities of the entire School of Health Professions student body.
The Student Congress will organize community outreach activities for the School of Health Professions Student Body such as "Adopt a Family," donation of magazines throughout the year to hospital waiting rooms, and periodic food and clothing drives at M. D. Anderson and cities where distance-learning sites are located. These activities are intended to further communications and relationships between the students of the School of Health Professions and the community.
