Health Sciences Club
Health Science Club
The 体育菠菜大平台 Health Science Club began in 2004 to provide support, collaboration, and opportunities for our health science students. The organization promotes student involvement in community and campus service projects; connects members with other pre-health students; provides members with opportunities to learn valuable professional and leadership skills; and makes a positive impact on our community through multiple supportive and fundraising efforts.
Our Health Science Club activities include multiple areas of focus, which allow our students to find pursuits and philanthropic interests that fit their passions. Our executive leadership team includes undergraduate health science students in roles as President, Vice President, and Secretary.
We also have eight committee chairs working on a variety of projects throughout the school year:
- Dental Committee
- Blood Drive Committee
- HelpCare Committee
- Mental & Behavioral Health Committee

- Loper Student Focus Committee
- Committee for the Less Fortunate
