Student Executive Board
The student committee is comprised of student representatives from various programs throughout the Chicago land area. The purpose of this committee is to gather the opinions of students about current ACEPT processes and provisions, as well as ideas about how ACEPT can best serve the student bodies. Members are asked to reach out to their respective student bodies to gather a general understanding of student opinions, needs, and ideas about the role of ACEPT in their training and professional development. The inclusion of this committee allows for the dissemination and inclusion of student perspective that is of integral importance to the purpose and objective of ACEPT. Students are encouraged to contact their respective representative or contact ACEPT'S Student Involvement Committee Chair.
