Student Coordinating Council. The SCC is the decision-making body for Wichita medical students. Elected members represent their classmates on matters relating to curricular and extracurricular activities. The SCC also fosters a spirit of student involvement in the achievement of high standards of scholarship, leadership, and service to the community and the university.
