Recruiting Students for an Advisory Committee (Academic Success)
|
|
The St. George Academic Success team is inviting students to join the Student Advisory Committee. Committee members will be paid a $300 stipend for their time, will earn recognition on their Co-Curricular Record (CCR), and will have a unique opportunity to bring their personal insights to bear on a range of questions that preoccupy our team.
Students who are selected to participate will meet 4–6 times a year to engage in informal, arts-driven processes of inquiry. The Committee's contributions will help our department ensure that we're being responsive to the needs of students.
Students who are interested in joining this team are invited to share a bit about themselves by filling out this brief form (5 minutes) by October 1st. The goal is for the committee to represent a cross-section of this University's many constituencies and to hail from a wide range of Faculties, Schools, and disciplinary communities.
