Standing committees are an important component of shared governance in SMPH. These committees are described in the school’s bylaws and are granted their scope and authority by the SMPH Dean or the Dean’s designee. Each committee has charges or charters that define their scope and purpose, members composition, appointment and election procedures, membership terms, voting procedures, and other appropriate information or procedural guidelines.
