Joining a Committee
Students are encouraged to join committees. Applications are available during Committee Yourself Week, held each spring and fall. Interested students must specify which committee or committees they are applying for and why, and applications must be returned to the SGA Office (Blanchard, room 302). Applicants will be contacted by the Appointing Board to set up an interview time. Interviews usually run about 15-20 minutes. Once the Appointing Board has made its decision, the applicant will be contacted by phone or by email. For more information, contact the Appointing Board.

All committees are currently full. Please look for Committee Yourself again in the spring.
