Welcome!

It is my pleasure, on behalf of the Student Government Association, to welcome you to the Medical University of South Carolina! It is a great honor to have been accepted to such an outstanding learning institution and you should feel very proud.

MUSC works hard to ensure that its students receive a first-rate education and is continually evolving to maintain a state-of-the-art learning environment. Recent transformations include the completion of the James B. Edwards College of Dental Medicine building, which houses the new dental Clinical Education Center and the near completion of the Drug Discovery and Bioengineering facilities, which will provide new space for the College of Graduate Studies and the College of Pharmacy.

Here at MUSC we take great pride in our interprofessional education. As you know, working in interdisciplinary teams is essential to providing quality patient care. MUSC offers many opportunities for students to interact with each other across the six colleges, such as the Presidential Scholars Program, the CLARION Competition, the MUSC Simulation Center, and of course the Student Government Association (SGA).

The SGA is the premier student organization here at MUSC and is the classic model for interdisciplinary team work. We are the voice of the student body and our mission is to ensure the students’ needs and concerns are addressed so that we all have the best learning experience possible. The MUSC administration is very open to the opinions of the students and encourages student participation in decision-making that affects the entire university. Therefore, it is important for students to take an active role at the university level. I encourage all students to consider representing their class as an SGA Representative or representing the entire student body as an SGA Executive Officer.

While the SGA spends much of its time promoting the advancement of our education, we also have the pleasure of providing outstanding extracurricular activities. We work closely with the Student Programs Office to offer intramural sports, cultural events, and social gatherings. Our events are always fun and very well attended. Some of the students’ all-time favorites include the Back to School party, the Art Walk, the Winetasting, and our end-of-school beach bash, Alhambra. These events are meant to provide students with a break from studying and to encourage social interaction among the six colleges.

I am honored to be your SGA President, and I will strive to make your experience here at MUSC as rewarding and pleasing as possible. If you have any questions, concerns, or comments please contact me at sga@musc.edu, and if you see me passing by, please don’t hesitate to stop me.

Sincerely,
Carol B. Brown
MUSC SGA President
