APPLY
TO STUDENT ASSEMBLY BY 5:00PM TODAY!!
Applications for Rotating Members, Diversity and Community Affairs, Academic Affairs,
Student Affairs, and Public Affairs will be accepted up until
5:00PM TODAY.
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!
