Membership
To ensure diverse representation, we select a mix of international and domestic students with a balanced gender representation. We also maintain a mix of new and experienced representatives by inviting previous members to continue for an additional semester. Members who serve for at least one year or attend all scheduled meetings will receive a certificate of recognition.
Meetings
Meetings are held twice per semester on Friday afternoons via Microsoft Teams. These meetings, led by Program Managers, provide a formal platform to discuss and make recommendations on discipline-specific and broader student issues. You will also collaborate on student initiatives and explore ways to enhance the overall student experience.
Student representatives may also participate in meet-and-greet sessions with the student body to address questions and concerns.
Application process and eligibility
Interested students must apply for a position in the group, similar to a job application. You will be required to submit a resume and a cover letter outlining your motivation for joining and how you can contribute to the Student Experience.
Each year, a call for applications is emailed to students to recruit 8 to 15 student representatives across the college.
