The CHP Board consists of a faculty representative from each school and a student member. The Board advises the CHP Director and the Dean of Undergraduate Education on various aspects of the program, including admissions and curriculum. The student board member represents CHP students at board meetings, and needs to be able to maintain confidentiality, when necessary. You must be a CHP student in good standing to apply for this position.
Applications must be completed by Monday, October 3rd. Please apply using this link: http://www.asuci.uci.edu/applications/?id=510.
More information from ASUCI:
“Academic Senate works to bridge the gap between administration and students. Our main role is representation – we represent the student body at council meetings that range from topics such as undergraduate admissions to library space to student experience. We voice student opinion that we have gathered by talking to the student body. From there, the information we learn must be collected and distributed somewhere. We figure out the best way to relay this information to you as a student. Long story short, we represent and voice opinions in council meetings with administration.
We also work with “Senate” to pass legislation we feel needs to be passed here on campus. Senate conducts open meetings that anyone can attend and can speak their own opinions as well.
We want students to be as politically aware as possible of issues being decided for them on campus. I know what it feels like to feel powerless, to feel like your voice doesn’t matter. Academic Senate is your voice, your middle man. We do the work so that your voice does matter to higher-ups. If any of this sounds interesting to you please apply!”
Any other questions can be emailed to academicsenators@asuci.uci.edu. Thank you again for your time and I hope you have a sucessful school year.
