Student Committee
Are you interested in becoming more involved in the Health Care Management (HCM) Division? Looking to build connections with leaders, learn more about the division, and make connections that will support you along your scholarly journey? We are excited to announce recruitment for the HCM Student Representatives!
What do you do as a Student Representative?
In short, we are the voices of the HCM students in the Executive Committee. We attend the monthly online Executive Committee meetings and represent the students of the division. We help organize the Emerging Scholars Consortium at the Annual Meeting, submit Program Development Workshops (PDWs), and coordinate the Student Social event on the Thursday preceding the official start of the Annual Meeting. Additionally, we co-chair the Student Engagement Committee, a group of students who work together to ensure that student voices are shared within the division. The position allows for a lot of personal input and creativity - anything that you think can benefit the students of the HCM division can become part of your role as Student Representative. Please note that the position may be for a one or for a two-year term: there are typically two Student Representatives who rotate every other year. The position will formally start in July 2026.
Why should you apply?
Being a DIG Student Rep is a fantastic opportunity. It allows you to meet, work with, and learn from many people in the HCM division. It enables you to consider the needs of students within the division and help facilitate these needs, with a lot of freedom and creativity in how you approach this. You'll improve your leadership, communication, and organizational skills while building a robust and supportive network. If you enjoy working with a diverse group of people and advocating for student voices, then this might be the perfect position for you!
