What is the Student-Staff Reference Committee (SSRC)?
The Student-Staff Reference Committee (SSRC) is a collaboration between the Faculty of Science staff and students, established to amplify the student voice and to enhance your student experience.
The undergraduate committee consists of Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Agriculture students from each year level and student societies, as well as Faculty of Science academics and staff.
The graduate coursework committee consists of students from various Science Coursework degrees in Science.
The SSRC student representatives meet regularly with academic staff to ensure your voices are heard as Science students!
The SSRC provides student led insights, feedback and evidence on both academic and non-academic matters, around three core areas of focus:
- First year experience
- Student wellbeing
- Community and connection
The committee meets 2 times a semester and 4 in total per calendar year.
What has the SSRC achieved so far?
To ensure that we address student feedback, we provide yearly reports on the feedback received and the resulting changes implemented.
Below showcases just a glimpse of what the Faculty has implemented as a direct result of the SSRC. We believe in an ongoing dialogue and collaboration with our students for continuous improvement. Other initiatives are currently in progress.
