Many student leaders, when they are elected, are very motivated to do things to help their students. Quite often though, they do not know what the real needs of their students really are, let
alone how to solve those needs.
There are many organizations out there that try to unite student advocacy groups at some demographic or educational level (university or community
college level for example). This only results in higher
education advocacy groups becoming fragmented and competitive. Most of the fundamental needs of these
two constituencies are really the same issues.
There is currently no organization out there that
will give student leaders and advocacy groups the information they need to be successful and united on all fronts (National, State, Local, and Campus levels).
Student Advocacy Network (SAN)
was created to do just that!!!
