The Student Advisory Board (SAB) was created to allow students to give feedback about the FOCUS program. The board is staffed by student volunteers from each cohort who serve as a voice for their cohort and help discuss the direction and programs within FOCUS. If you want to know more about these discussions or are interested in joining the board, feel free to contact Jonathan Nguyen for more information. If you see the board members around campus feel free to say hi!
