CALL FOR APPLICATIONS 2013-14 (inaugural year)

College of Engineering Student Advisory Council

The College of Engineering is launching an Engineering Student Advisory Council to the Dean and is seeking undergraduate and graduate student applications.  Please circulate this call for applications to undergraduate and graduate students in your department.  It would be particularly helpful to encourage students whom you believe would be particularly effective members of this Council to apply.

The Engineering Student Advisory Council provides a student perspective on planning and budgeting matters for the College of Engineering.  The Council, which includes approximately 20 students (undergraduate and graduate), will meet monthly with the College of Engineering Dean or Associate Dean and some engineering staff.  Both the Council and the leadership of the College will provide discussion topics for the meetings.  The ideal membership of the committee will represent students from all backgrounds including women, underrepresented minorities, gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgender, low-income, transfer, residential, non-residential students, and Registered Student Organization (RSO) members.

The time commitment involved in serving on the Council is approximately 30-35 hours* annually including meeting times and post meeting responsibilities.  There are five council leadership roles including: Chair, Co-Chair, Historian, Associated Students of University of Washington (ASUW) Liaison, and Graduate and Professional Student Senate (GPSS) Liaison.  Council members will serve 1 year terms* with the exception of the Co-Chair who will assume the Chair position in their second term.

*The 2014 inaugural Council year will be shorter and less time-consuming in future years.

Students interested in applying to be members of the Engineering Student Advisory Council for the 2013-2014 academic year, should apply by January, 12, 2014.  Please contact John Davis, jhdavis3@uw.edu, if you prefer a hard copy of the application.  Please visit the Council website to learn more and to apply.  We look forward to receiving student applications.
