Sub-Committees
Student Council consists of four specialized subcommittees: Events, Policy, Public Relations (PR), and Resources. These committees meet regularly outside of the general meeting time and work on independent projects. Committee chairs report their progress back to the group during general meetings. Below, read about the committees and the types of projects they have worked on. Any student at BUA is welcome to join subcommittee meetings. You can either contact the committee chair and view the meeting schedule on the homepage. You can also read about what committees have accomplished over the years in the Annual Report.
