ADA Student council Information:

The Accreditation and Student Operations Team of the American Dietetic Association is pleased to announce the formation of a national student organization within ADA to facilitate communications, address student-related issues and provide an opportunity for students to network with their peers. It is called the ADA Student Council. When students become members, they will automatically be part of the ADA Student Council. This organization will promote involvement of student members in ADA for the development of future participation and leadership in the Association at the national, affiliate and district levels. The ADA Student Council will have a Student Council Advisory Committee (SCAC) and Michele, Turcotte, RD, LDN, Manager, Careers and Student Services will be the staff partner. ADA's SCAC could consist of: Chair, Vice-Chair, Student Delegate, CADE Student Representative and 4-6 additional student representatives from across the country. Annually, SCAC will set goals and objectives consistent with ADA's strategic plan.

One of the communications vehicles for student members is the Web-based ADA Student Council Community of Interest (CoI). The purpose of this CoI is to connect student members nationwide, provide a vehicle of communication for our student representatives and delegate, allow student members to access relevant education information, useful Web sites, articles, share ideas and more! If your students have not yet joined ADA, please let them know of this new member benefit. If they are ADA members and have not received an invitation to join the CoI, please encourage them to update their e-mail address information with ADA so we can send them an invitation.
