What is SHAC?

SHAC serves as a formal, student-led voice for the well-being for the WSU Community. SHAC members listen to student health care needs, evaluate current Health & Wellness Services policies, promote public health, and improve the quality of health and wellness services at WSU.

Join WSU’s SHAC and have an opportunity to listen to student wellness needs, evaluate current wellness services and programs, promote holistic wellness, and improve well-being at Winona State.
