WORKING COMMITTEES
Within the Council, 3 Working Committees (WC) are formed to look into specific aspects of student life that will better enhance and meet the needs of the student population.
ELECTIONS FEVER
The Elections Fever WC focuses on standardising the General Election processes across SMUSA and the CBds to unify elections as a Council. This increases the credibility of the elections. The WC also explores ways to increase the exposure of members running for the elections and the number of casted votes for the elections.
GRASSROOTS
The Grassroots WC aims to identify important topics of interests concerning students, thereby launching new related initiatives or building on current ones. This year, Grassroots WC has decided on the topic of "Sustainability". In line with Climate Action Week, Grassroots WC launched SMU Sustainability Week 2022 which happened from 19 September to 23 September.
LEADERSHIP
INDUCTION (SACLIP)
The Leadership Induction WC plans for the Students' Association Council Leadership Induction Programme (SACLIP).
This programme is to officially induct the new batch of Council members through leadership simulations, case studies and activities that ingrain the values of working together as one Council. The 3-day programme also aims to create camaraderie between the newly elected Council members and for them to see the importance of themselves as individuals and a Council that eventually brings change for the better of the school community. This year, with the ease of COVID-19 restrictions, SACLIP was conducted physically for the incoming Council.
ABOUT THE COUNCIL
