Student Advisory Council

The Student Advisory Council of Bellarmine College of Arts and Sciences is a diverse group of students representing a range of majors in the fine arts, humanities, math, and sciences. Working closely with the dean’s office, the committee discusses college-specific concerns and provides feedback on how to enhance the educational experience for all A&S students. The council is composed of 12 undergraduates – four students each from the sophomore, junior and senior classes – and one graduate student. Meetings allow these representatives to address current issues on campus and to offer a student perspective on University goals, policies and services.
