Academic Senate Positions
Academic Senate positions are rare opportunities where students can sit on boards with faculty and vote on decisions that have serious impact. The authority invested in the faculty by the Regents, and specifically the Academic Senate, to guide the academic and administrative affairs of the University makes the Senate a powerful institution.
Depending on the position the process of appointment can vary. This will be explained in detail to you after you apply, or if you want to take a look now, head over to our Process Page.
