Interviews Begin for 2008-2009 Appointments

Monday, April 7 marks the beginning of the interview process for student appointments to standing committees for the 2008-2009 academic year. Interviews will take place on four separate nights (April 7, 9, 15, 17) over the next two weeks. We've received roughly 70 applications, which is on par with the numbers from last fall. The most contested committees, as per usual, include the Dean of Students Advisory Board and Campus Planning Committee.

Please note that ASM Shared Governance will be appointing students to new committees next fall. I'm particularly excited about the International Studies Advisory Board--a committee of students that will advise the dean of IS on programming, curricula and study abroad opportunities. Stay tuned...
