Student Health Advisory Board (SHAB)
The Student Health Advisory Board (SHAB) is comprised of undergraduate and graduate students and is designed to advocate for the PSU community in collaboration with SHAC leadership.
In previous years, SHAB has worked to impact these areas of student health and wellness:
- Transgender health coverage to the University’s health insurance policy
- Ensured appropriate use of student health fee
- Advocated for improved student mental health resources
SHAB hopes to continue their work and utilize student input to further our mission.
The board thrives on hearing from the PSU student community; your feedback is valued regarding access to campus health services, academic barriers related to health, and health insurance.
SHAC Topic of the Year: Sleep Hygiene
One topic that impacts the entire PSU community? Sleep! Sleep is such an important part of who we are and the way our bodies function that all SHAC departments are paying special attention to the ways that we can interact with students around their sleep hygiene.
