Committees
Get Involved!
Participation in a number of committees is
required of all members of SAS. We have a wide range of activites giving
everyone an ample amount of opportunities to particpate. We also encourage members to come up with their own
ideas for committees; you do not have to be on the board to chair a committee. Being involved helps in so
many ways from expanding your network, to having something to talk about during interviews, to serving the community, and
just having fun. So be more than a "seat-warmer" and join a committee today!
