  9. Student representative to Faculty (Deans, Level Chairs, tutors) • Student representative to external groups and organizations (on and off campus) • The President attends regular meetings, writes letters on behalf of nursing students, and establishes communication with new contacts • These ways of communication with external decision makers and groups are extremely valuable when bringing up student concerns, or taking a student stance on an issue. These groups can make lots of changes, and really hear what students have to say Role of the President

  10. Our connection to student government at each of our 3 campuses • The VPs can take nursing student issues and bring them to the attention of student leaders who are working on behalf of ALL students. • This can give us more support and strength for overcoming our student issues. Many times, other faculties have gone through similar issues and we can learn from what they did. • Often times our issues and concerns are the same as students from other faculties, so adding our input will give MSU/MSA/CSI leaders a stronger case for their issues and solutions. Role of Vice Presidents

  11. Official student representatives on the Undergraduate Nursing Education Council (UNEC), CQSIC • Chairs of the MUNSS Education Committee • The Committee can prepare statements and stances, in preparation for the Education Reps’ meetings with these Committees. • These committees constantly seek feedback and student opinion on the nursing program, curriculum, and any suggestions or changes that could be made. • Any and all changes to courses and the program go through these committees, so our student voice here is so important! Role of Education Reps

  12. Representatives of the students in each level/stream of the BScN program • Which means: • Talk to your classmates and students in each level/stream! Find out what they like and what they don’t like about their classes and program structure. Do they have suggestions for how it could be done better? • Bring up the feedback and issues at MUNSS meetings so we can all talk about it and take a position/stance on the issues • Talk to your Education Reps – see if they can give you specific help or guidance Role of Level and Stream Reps
