Committee Composition

The committee consists of the president of the A.S.D.A., the president of the Dentistry College Council, four student members, one from each class, the Director of Student and Multicultural Affairs, the A.S.D.A. faculty advisor, and four full-time faculty members elected by the Faculty Assembly. The Committee elects the chairperson and vice chairperson from the four faculty members elected by the Faculty Assembly. The vice chairperson will become chairperson upon completion of the chairperson's term.

Standing Committee Charge

As stated in the Constitution and Bylaws, this committee serves as a general forum to promote scholarship, motivation, professionalism, and extracurricular activities among the students and between the students and the faculty.

Additional Charge from the Dean for 2011–2012

The Student Affairs Committee should continue to take an active role in identification and discussions on current issues concerning students. The committee should meet at least quarterly to conduct its business to ensure satisfactory progress on tasks assigned to it.

Again this year, I am asking the Student Affairs Committee to develop strategies to promote professional, productive relationships between students and faculty including a faculty/student, mentor/mentee program. The committee should also organize and deliver the October freshman loupes fair. I would like the committee to review the “UF Social Media Use Guidelines and Policy Implications” document as it relates to students and incorporate it into the student handbook prior to the fall, 2011 semester. Any remaining work on video vignettes for students from prior years should be completed in 2011-2012.

As requested last year, I would also like the committee to finalize a recommendation on an emblem or other identifier which students could wear on their scrubs to identify themselves as student dentists. It might also identify the different classes.

Each standing faculty committee is charged with reviewing relevant outcome measures from the college's new strategic plan. The measures which should be reviewed by the Student Affairs Committee include:

Educational expenses and indebtedness for D.M.D. students.

The committee should evaluate performance on these measures and when appropriate, action plans for improvement should be instituted using the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle. The PDCA is the college's model for outcomes assessment and evaluation.

Individual Faculty Member Responsibilities

The Student Affairs Committee meets approximately 3 times per year for 1 to 1½ hours. Additionally, some project work is done outside of meetings. This past year, members of the committee (including students) were instrumental in preparing video vignettes for student learning related to ethical issues.

Time commitment: Minimum of 1½ hours per quarter for meetings plus additional time for project-based work.

Schedule of Meetings

The Student Affairs Committee meets from 12:00–1:00 p.m. unless otherwise noted.
