"I am excited that we will be filling this important area, SLP, that is desperately needed for all of Georgia," said CAHS Dean Lester Pretlow, PhD.
The Student Clinical Laboratory Science Association (SCLSA) at Augusta University is a recognized professional organization under the Student Government Association (SGA) (https://www.augusta.edu/student-life/sga/), an entity of Augusta University Student Life & Engagement.
The purpose of the SCLSA at Augusta University:
The SCLSA has a set of adopted bylaws to assist the organization in policy making decisions (see link - ???). The charter of the SCLSA must be renewed annually through the SGA by the organization. A faculty advisor will be appointed for the organization.
Membership in the SCLSA is required. The organization collects dues each semester that students are enrolled in the program. The organization also conducts fundraising events. Proceeds from fundraising events are used to support student activities such as travel to local and regional events related to the profession.
All CLS students are also members of the American Clinical Laboratory Science Association (ASCLS) at both the state and national levels. The department of Undergraduate Health Professions (UHP) pays for first year dues to the ASCLS. After that, students are responsible for maintaining dues on a yearly basis to this organization.

"We need community partners, and community partners mean that it’s not just mutually beneficial, but it’s mutually respectful."
“The benefit one would get in this situation is short-lived. While one might enjoy no interest for the promo period, when that period is over, the interest rate they are charged could be more."
President Russell Keen, EdD, and First Lady Karen Keen enjoyed engaging with faculty and students over their first few days.
