The Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) Advisory Committee provides feedback on the student health plan to meet the needs of the student population. The responsibilities include gaining an in-depth understanding of the student health plan, considering student feedback regarding programs and services (counseling, wellness, health insurance), and providing insight on communications to students. The committee is seeking two student representatives from each school to meet about two to three times a year for about an hour. The meeting dates will be set based on student availability, and the first meeting will be in early October. For more information, please review the website: SHIP Advisory Committee.
The Student Fee Advisory Board (SFAB) advises the president and the Board of Regents of the University of Maryland, Baltimore on fees involving the University Student Government Association, student transportation, student parking, campus center infrastructure, student services, housing, technology, and late fees for tuition. This is a great way for students to understand how central fees work and provide their input on proposed increases. There will be a meeting in early October to go over the committee charge, and then one to three meetings in November to review the presentations on the proposed fee increases and write the memorandum to the president. For more information, please review the website: SFAB.
