Students have a participatory function on standing faculty committees within the School of Allied Health Professions. Student representatives are facilitated by the Student Government Association and the Faculty Delegate Assembly to serve on the following faculty committees:
- Academic Affairs
- Interprofessional Education
- Community Outreach/Engagement
- Recruitment and Student Affairs
All students should read and understand CM-11 Statement of The Student Role and Participation in Institutional Decision Making.
The Educational Technology Student Committee reviews technology requests and provides for the equitable expenditure of the Technology Fee funds. The committee is composed of a student representative from each of the academic programs. The selection process varies among programs. The committee is advised by a faculty in the School of Allied Health Professions.
Student Government Association: Established in 1985, the Student Government Association of the School of Allied Health Professions provides a forum for student debate and opinion; to meet the needs of the members through identification, coordinated activity, communication, and fellowship; and to provide an orderly method of colloquy between students and faculty. The SAHP SGA is composed of two student representatives from each of the seven academic programs. The selection process varies among programs.
JEDI Ambassador Program: Established in 2022, the JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion) Student Ambassador Program is a student-driven initiative dedicated to promoting justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in our school, university, community, and beyond. Through education, advocacy, and leadership, our JEDI Ambassadors create a supportive environment where every student feels heard, valued, and empowered to succeed. We strive to foster constructive conversations, raise awareness about social issues, and embrace the unique qualities that strengthen us as a community. Together, we aim to cultivate a culture of acceptance, respect, and celebration of diversity, shaping compassionate and culturally competent healthcare professionals capable of providing equitable care to all. The JEDI student ambassador program is composed of a student representative from each cohort in each academic program. The selection process varies among programs. The selected individual need not identify as a student from an underrepresented group but must have a strong interest in supporting and promoting the education of students on issues of JEDI. JEDI meetings and events welcome the participation of all students, extending beyond the group of established standing ambassadors.
Alpha Eta: The Alpha Eta Honor Society is a national scholastic honor society that serves to promote and recognize significant scholarship, leadership, and contributions to the allied health professions. Student initiates are nominated by their respective program faculty based on scholastic and leadership abilities reflected in their chosen professions.
Delta Omega: The Delta Omega Honorary Society in Public Health is a national honor society to recognize outstanding achievements of public health students, faculty, and alumni. Members are inducted by chapters through a highly-selective process that assesses their outstanding performance and devotion to the field. Epsilon Delta proudly serves as the esteemed chapter name for the society for the public health program offered in collaboration between LSU Shreveport and LSU Health Sciences Center at Shreveport.
