These groups serve as student support programs for a variety of different purposesthat help your unit (department/college): mentoring, scholarship, service, and learning about thestudent’s future profession. Each of these student groups have their own separate missions,activities, leaders, and needs. For example, each group has a regional or national conference forstudents or a need to travel in their service role. Inevitably, each group will be visiting thedepartment head or Dean to ask for financial support for their travel and other activities.
