SHAC is an organization composed of students that advise the Director of Student Health. It makes recommendations to on policies, helps settle complaints, and makes the final decision on appeals for Student Health Fee waivers. Members also sit on the search committee for hiring new staff at Student Health Services.
Any student is welcome to serve on SHAC. Members volunteer from the first year, sophomore, junior, senior, and graduate student classes. Members learn about the provision of healthcare and the health insurance industry in the US, and may gain insight into the health professions. The council meets once per month for an hour.
If you are interested in serving on SHAC or have questions or concerns, please contact the Director of Student Health Services, Tracy Harcourt at harcoutj@potsdam.edu or Health Educator, Bridget Bradish at bradisba@potsdam.edu.=
