Dean’s Student Advisory Council

Impetus

The bold experiment which gave birth to America was founded on the bedrock principle of representative government. At Shady Grove, the Dean’s Student Advisory Council (DSAC) embodies this essential role by serving as the voice of the student body. 

Impact

DSAC remains integral to the smooth operation of club activities, student-led events, and campus workshops. Thanks in part to its efforts, the Smith School holds a coveted spot on the 2024 U.S. News & World Report Rankings – 11th best public business school in the nation.

Imprint

On a continual basis, DSAC meets with faculty, alumni, and corporate interest to hone the Shady Grove experience. Acting on behalf of others, student officers assume the role of public servants, not for notoriety, but to ensure that the Smith School achieves excellence.

Improvisation

By design, the members of DSAC are granted ample opportunities to lead. Innovation and real-time experimentation are encouraged through the implementation of new projects and school-wide initiatives. Every proposal is then presented and vetted by Smith administrators.  

Impartment

Since its inception, DSAC has forged new insights in terms of academics, engagement, and community at Shady Grove. The guidance provided by this indispensable organization has enabled students to thrive while on campus and in subsequent life.
