The Student Council is at the forefront of all student activities and serves as the liaison between students and administration, faculty, alumni, and the community.

The Council advocates and promotes the welfare of students, organizes social activities and intramural sports, and promotes a professional attitude toward the University and the Pennsylvania College of Optometry, Osborne College of Audiology, and College of Health Sciences, Education & Rehabilitation. Student Council is comprised of the executive board, class officers who represent each respective program by year, registered student organizations, and two advisors, the Dean of Students and Associate Director of Student Engagement. 

Executive Board

President - Alexander Kirn '25OD
Alex KirnMy name is Alex Kirn and I am currently a first-year Optometry student in the class of 2025 here at Salus. I’m from Enola, Pennsylvania, which is located just outside of Harrisburg. My undergraduate education came from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in Chemistry.

Many factors played into my decision to continue my education at Salus, such as the reputable clinical experience, the campus and its location, and the high praise that I heard from various alumni. Possibly the most valuable aspect of my education thus far has been the chance to form relationships with my fellow classmates. With that in mind, my goal as a member of the Student Council is to provide the best possible student experience for everyone. I am excited for this opportunity, and I hope to have a great year!

Executive Secretary - Evyn Stewart '25AUD
Evyn StewartHello! My name is Evyn Stewart, I am an Audiology student in the accelerated program here at Salus University. I have a BA in Linguistics, minor in Psychology with a background in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Montclair State University where I was also a student-athlete and played field hockey for the University. 

I chose Salus because of their small student to preceptor and professor ratio allowing for a more individualised learning experience and the exposure of clinic and patient care at the Pennsylvania Ear Institute starting in just the first semester. 

I currently serve as the Executive Secretary of Student Council and am excited to support and provide information to my fellow classmates! 



 
Executive Treasurer - Abigail Ramsaroop '25AUD
Abigail RamsaroopHello everyone! My name is Abigail Ramsaroop and I am an Audiology student. I am originally from Queens, New York. I graduated from St. John’s University in 2022 with a bachelor’s in Communication Sciences and Disorders. I also have a minor in theology.

I chose to study here at Salus for several different reasons. I liked that the curriculum included lots of hands on experience. I also like that Salus has a family feel to it and I am honored to be apart of that family now.

I currently serve as Executive Treasurer for Student Council & I look forward to collaborating with other students across the multiple professions offered at Salus!

Julie MumfordHello! I am Julie Mumford, an Occupational Therapy student here at Salus University.

Student Council members in conjunction with the Office of Student Affairs contribute to their fellow students by providing events such as, the Salus Scoop, a campus fair complete with food, fun and activities; the Salus Award Gala (S.A.G.), a grammy-style event to honor the accomplishments of the University community; and Salus Soiree, an upscale affair for students to socialize off-campus. Members also represent the University at various conventions and meetings in their fields. Lastly, on-going intramural games in a variety of sports that keep our students active.

Student Council has two committees that are responsible for planning, organizing, and executing these events: Athletics and Campus Activities Committees.
