Serving as a student representative
on a CALS committee is a great way to make a difference on campus.
By channeling student concerns to the proper faculty committees, you
are ensuring that students do have a voice setting the policies and
plans for this college's future. Student committee representatives
are asked to give a report to the Student Council meetings at the
councils monthly meeting. As many of the committees do not meet regularly
or often, student representatives are only asked to report when they
have new information. The representatives give a brief description
of what their committee does and what their committee has been doing,
and they also highlight any issues on which the Student Council might
appropriately register an opinion on behalf of the students in the
College.
The Student Council appoints students to these committees each
spring for the next year. If you are interested in serving on a
committee, please contact the CALS Student Council Liaison Officer:
