Curricular Committee Governance
Student Representation and Participation in Curricular Governance
Each cohort elects Vice Presidents of Curricular Affairs to provide the student perspective at committee meetings. These representatives are expected to communicate the results of committee meetings to their cohorts in a timely manner. View the current list of Vice Presidents of Curricular Affairs.
Education Committee meetings are open to a limited number of students each month. The Vice Presidents of Curricular Affairs organize this effort by sending a monthly email message to each cohort one to two weeks prior to the date of the Education Committee. The email message provides a link through which a limited number of students can sign up to attend the meeting.
