Bar-SR-Bar 
Mentors Advancing Student Health

Bar SR Bar MASHBar-SR-Bar MASH is a student peer educator club that functions much like a SHAC or Student Health Advisory Committee. SHACs are commonly found on larger campuses and serve as the student voice on health related matters.

Their role as the students' healthcare and wellness advocate is valuable to the overall mission of student life. The logo adopts the acronym of the U.S. Army's mobile surgical hospital. This field unit's story was the basis for the highly popular novel, film and television series. It's then branded by Sully's own Bar-SR-Bar.

This peer educator club is advised by health services. It invites students from varying academic pursuits since the healthcare and wellness industries are driven by multiple disciplines. Group participation includes activities such as:

  • certification in basic CPR and first-aid
  • student presentations on health related topics
  • Skyline articles about healthier consumer choices
  • assist with on-campus blood drives
  • collaborate with SRSU's Alcohol and other Drug Coalition
  • Act as liaison between health services and student body
  • support Alpine's annual Relay-for-Life event

To join this student health advocacy group, e-mail health@sulross.edu or call (432) 837-8102.
