Student Representatives

Members of the Student Representative Council work together with the administration in over 20 administrative councils to ensure that the voice of the students is being heard, and that issues and concerns are resolved in a way that benefits the entire BYU-Idaho community. They research student issues and produces reports and proposals to resolve them. They also work to provide explanations for University Policies that explain the "why" behind some of the most commonly misunderstood university policies. 12 Student Representatives are selected each semester.

Student Voice Coordinators

The Student Voice area administers a program of surveys and focus groups in which over 4,000 students participate each semester. Working with the Councils area, they help gather information and opinions from students that the university's leaders need to make better decisions. They also work with research to gather information on and measure issues that the administration may not yet know about. Four Student Voice Coordinators over see the Student Voice area.
