SSAF Committee
UTS students and staff work together as the SSAF Committee to:
- oversee, monitor and make recommendations to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education and Students) about the distribution of SSAF funds to student services providers, such as UTS’s Student Services Unit (SSU), the UTS Students’ Association (UTSSA), ActivateUTS and UTS Childcare Inc
- facilitate collaboration and knowledge sharing with SSAF recipients to enhance the student experience at UTS.
The committee meets at least twice a year to review expenditure and identify and prepare SSAF recommendations for the following year.
Your SSAF Committee student representatives
Mia Campbell
President, UTS Students' Association
As the President of the UTS Students’ Association, I lead an organisation that is one of the many recipients of SSAF funding at UTS. It’s important to me that SSAF funds are allocated and used transparently, productively and with a continuous priority of improving the student experience at UTS. By championing initiatives and services that cater to the diverse needs of our student body, UTS can best ensure its students are adequately supported throughout their time at university.
Rodger Liang
President, ActivateUTS
SSAF funding is an opportunity for students to see what they want on campus happen. I'm excited by the possibilities and take this responsibility deeply. Through my position at ActivateUTS, I'm committed to making campus life better with your contribution, your voice.
