Student Health Advisory Board

The Stu­dent Health Advi­sory Board (SHAB) is a student-run orga­ni­za­tion com­mit­ted to ensur­ing stu­dent sat­is­fac­tion and qual­ity of health care at Prince­ton University. SHAB mem­bers advo­cate for the health and well­ness of all stu­dents on cam­pus. As offi­cial liaisons between stu­dents and Uni­ver­sity Health Ser­vices (UHS), SHAB works closely with the uni­ver­sity admin­is­tra­tion, health­care providers and var­i­ous stu­dent groups. Mem­bers also serve on cam­pus com­mit­tees, such as the Health­ier Prince­ton Advi­sory Board, the Under­grad­u­ate Stu­dent Gov­ern­ment, the Alco­hol Coali­tion Com­mit­tee, and Peer Health Advi­sors.

SHAB’s role con­tin­ues to expand as we adapt to the chang­ing health and well­ness needs of the Uni­ver­sity com­mu­nity. The group also encour­ages aware­ness and dia­logue regard­ing health issues affect­ing col­lege stu­dents. Past guest lec­tur­ers at SHAB-sponsored events have included Dr. Hunter “Patch” Adams, Eliz­a­beth Wurtzell, and Mor­gan Spurlock.

New mem­bers are annu­ally selected from fresh­men, sopho­mores and grad­u­ate stu­dents in the late fall through a rig­or­ous appli­ca­tion and inter­view process. Appli­ca­tions for the 2013 board have closed.
