Interested in making changes on campus?? Passionate about our Dartmouth community??
APPLY TO STUDENT ASSEMBLY!!
Applications for Rotating Members, Diversity and Community Affairs, Academic Affairs,
Student Affairs, and Public Affairs will be accepted up until 5:00PM on Friday, September 19th.
Below are descriptions for each of the above committees!
Rotating Members
The idea of two rotating members sitting on the board is a new concept this year that we thought would enhance the line of communication between
students and SA. Each member will serve on the board for one term; having full voting power during their tenure. While on the board, the responsibilities of the member will
include:
- Assisting our programming director and marketing director with projects (even planning SA formal :))
- Attending weekly cabinet meetings and other SA events with campus groups
- Consulting the President and Vice President on the agenda for the term
Diversity & Community Affairs
The Diversity & Community Affairs Committee is designed to cater to the needs of a diverse and ever-changing
student body. By working to unite the multitude of diversity organizations on campus,
Student
Assembly hopes to
influence the processes of
integrating current
students, welcoming new
students to campus, and educating the greater
student body
in pluralism. The history of hate crimes and discrimination on campus, as well as recent campus
incidents, further justify the existence and importance of this committee and their task. This committee will run a campus climate task force, campus-wide surveys, and work
to attract high school
students from underrepresented communities to Dartmouth.
Academic Affairs
The Academic Affairs Committee responds to
student needs and
interests
in all facets of academic life at Dartmouth. Successful
initiatives have
included: establishment of an online research database which serves as a guide for
students seeking to participate
in research; and the establishment of an online schedule of lectures and talks that will allow
students to know of these events well ahead of time, thus allowing them to plan accordingly and to attend. This year,
Student
Assembly will be adding faculty members to the committee to
increase
student-faculty communication and collaboration. Together, these
students and faculty will work together to host several
Student
Assembly-sponsored debates about campus issues and to arrange an annual appreciation reception to honor outstanding faculty.
Student Affairs
The work of the
Student Affairs Committee tends to be the most visible on campus. Whether working with DDS to voice
student opinion about dining options, revamping the cable TV lineup, or collaborating with Computing Services to create an online document management system. The services provided
by the
Student Affairs committee have a significant impact on day-to-day life for Dartmouth
Students.
In many cases,
students have come to rely on the services provided by the committee; however, the services are not provided by the administration, which makes sufficient ongoing funding
for programs extremely important.
Public Affairs
The Public Affairs Committee is vested with the
responsibility of making
Student
Assembly more transparent to the rest of campus. We believe
Student
Assembly should have a larger presence on campus
in addition to the press and social media. Thus, the Public Affairs Committee serves to enhance the communication, transparency, and accessibility of
Student
Assembly.
Campaign Team
Members of the campaign team oversee the planning and implementation for our two
initiatives: our sexual assault and mental health campaigns. This team will be able to obtain marketing experience, work with different third-party vendors, and manage a budget
while simultaneously working closely with Casey and Frank
in order to make their vision a reality.
Please apply if you are
interested!
Don't hesitate to contact us via blitz if you have any questions!
