The Student Governing Council (SGC) serves as the students' primary voice to leadership and is the primary governing body at KUMC.
Completely student run and supported by faculty advisors, the SGC consists of representatives from all four schools at KUMC: School of Health Professions, Graduate Studies, Medicine, and Nursing. We disburse student fees to registered student groups, provide services to the student body (ticket give-aways, legal services, etc.), and promote all aspects of student life with committees ranging from technology to parking to legislatiion. We generally meet on the first Wednesday of every month.

The SGC meets with the Executive Vice Chancellor and other administrators once per month at EVC/SGC meetings. Please attend our business meetings to raise issues you feel are important enough to address with senior leadership here at KUMC. Seldom is there such a direct voice for students to affect change at their respective academic organizations. One more benefit of being involved in your Student Governing Council!

• Ticket Give Away: (PLEASE bring your STUDENT ID)
When:Finished for Spring semester; next give away in Fall 2011
Where: Stoland Lounge, Outside the KU Med Center Bookstore in Orr-Major
Who: Any registered KUMC student. You must have a KUMC ID to receive any tickets.
What: TBA

How it works: Distribution of tickets will be based on a lottery system. The numbers will be randomly selected using a random number generator. We will call numbers for as many tickets as we have to distribute. If your number is called, you will be able to choose from the remaining tickets. YOU MUST BE PRESENT TO RECEIVE TICKETS! We are unable to reserve or hold tickets for any reason. Tickets will be given away in pairs. To use the sporting event tickets (i.e KU football) you must also show your KU ID at the game. However, many of the cultural event tickets may be used by anyone, but must be picked up by a KUMC student.

*Student's who show up after sign-in will be allowed to participate; however, these students will automatically be added to the end of the list and will only receive tickets if tickets remain after all numbers are called.
