Student Health Advisory Committee

The Student Health Advisory Committee (SHAC) is currently accepting applications for the 2010-2011 school year. We are an organization under ASUA acting as the liaison between Campus Health and the student body. This year, SHAC has the biggest agenda in its history: we will be pursuing policy initiatives such as a tobacco free university; we have partnered up with the Arizona Cancer Center and College of Public Health to make this dream a reality. We will also begin a large endeavor with our Pandemic and Epidemic Prevention Team , which will have its first program to vaccinate the homeless against seasonal and pandemic influenza for the homeless. We have also partnered up with the Sarver Heart Center to spread the word of chest compression only cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR)developed here at the UA's Sarver Heart Center; as a benefit, every SHAC member will be trained in CPR for free, with one member being paid to learn to teach CPR. We will also host our annual Run for Your Life 5k Run/Walk as well as other projects, many focused on sports nutrition, fitness, sexual health, mental health and raising money for well deserved charities. We are looking for 30 highly motivated individuals to join our team aimed at bringing health and wellness to our community. We are looking for all different types of people, with all different skills, including website design, and marketing, or any health related knowledge. The only things required for our applicants are a strong work ethic and an intense passion for health and helping others. If you are interested in applying, the application can be found on our website at (shac.asua.arizona.edu). Applications are due by September 3rd in the ASUA office front desk, Student Union, 3rd floor.
