UM Student Advisory Council
The Mansfield Center Student Advisory Council meets to brainstorm ideas and outline plans for campus and community outreach related to the mission of the Mansfield Center. Participating students gain the opportunity to build skills in leadership, collaboration, and event planning while learning about community involvement, outreach, citizen diplomacy, and international exchange.
The Mansfield Center is committed to supporting UM’s Priorities for Action, including placing student success at the center of all we do. The Mansfield Center Student Advisory Council is comprised of six undergraduate student representatives who work with us to identify the best ways to support and engage with students.
