Membership
To represent a variety of student voices, we select a mix of international and domestic students and a balance of genders. We mix new and experienced representatives by inviting previous members to continue the following semester. Every member who continues membership for at least one year, or who has attended every meeting, receives a certificate of recognition.
Meetings
Meetings are held twice per semester on Friday afternoons via Microsoft Teams. Program Managers run regular meetings that give you a formal opportunity to advise on, discuss and make recommendations on discipline-specific issues, and issues common to the whole student collective. You will discuss vital student activities on campus and shared collective ideas to better the college.
Student memberes may also be ask to attend meet and greets with the studeny body to take on any questions and queries the student body may have for you.
Application process and eligibility
Just like a job, students will need to apply for a position in the group. You will be asked to sumbit a resume, and cover letter on why you wish to join the Student Representative Group, and what you can bring to the Student Expereince.
