The Student Health Advisory Committee provides a strong foundation upon which the mission of the University Health Service can be realized. As a diverse group representing students and student services, the Committee is advisory to the Vice President for Student Affairs.

Issues appropriate for the committee's study include, but are not limited to, types of services, accessibility, educational needs/programs, quality assurance, and campus outreach efforts. The SHAC helped to establish campus HIV testing and the Self Care Cold Table, and has helped write and evaluate bids for laboratory services and student health insurance.

The committee is comprised of students and representatives of selected campus offices and is chaired by the Administrative Director of the Health Service.

The diverse perspective and meaningful dialogue brought about the SHAC serves to enhance the health and wellness programs available to students at Binghamton.
