The University of North Florida's College of Arts and Sciences has instituted a Student Advisory Council.
The council is composed of students from the different departments in the COAS and will help the college help better
serve its students by providing advice and insight, said Dr. Dale Clifford, history professor and interim dean.
The council representatives will be responsible for bringing student suggestions and concerns to the attention of
the college and to provide insight and advice, Clifford said.
"We want to know what we're doing that's good and also what we are doing that needs improvement," Clifford said.
Currently, the council is working to inform students of its existence and become more accessible, Clifford said.
This includes trying to meet once a month and creating a Web site that will allow students to inform them about what
is going on within the COAS and the council, she said.

bigger."
