The Student Health Advisory Committee (SHAC) members are leaders within the University who are the vehicles of change and the voice of student concerns. SHAC promotes communication between students and Student Health Services (SHS). The group allows UND students to effectively communicate with the administrators, medical providers, and staff of Student Health Services. Members of SHAC play a vital role in the future of Student Health Services by providing student feedback obtained through SHAC activities, promotions and events.

You are young, but you are not invincible.
You are young, but you are not invincible. You are still at risk for skin cancer.
The sun is out and the temperature is heating up. Swimsuit season is nearly here, but that shouldn’t mean we return to last summer’s tanning behaviors. It’s time we take into account the negative effects of sunbathing, tanning beds, and lack of sunscreen. We may be in college, we may be young, but we are susceptible to skin cancer. If you have two minutes today, listen to Natalie’s story (
http://www.skincancer.org/true-stories/natalie
). And take a few minutes every day to be proactive about these preventative measures to cut short the risk of skin cancer.
- Avoid tanning and UV tanning booths.
- Examine your skin – look head-to-toe every month.
- Visit a dermatologist – If you see anything on your skin that lasts for 2 weeks or longer and is growing, changing shape, and/or bleeding or itching, you should see a dermatologist right away for a skin cancer check.
- Use Sunscreen.
- Don’t burn.
