Advocacy Committees | �ۿ۴�ý University

Within the Student Government Senate, there are standing committees to focus on student advocacy. The goal of each of these committees is to represent the interest of our constituents. All of these committees work with University administration, faculty, and/or staff on problems or issues that arise, and draft proposals to come before the full Senate to make official recommendations to the University’s leadership.

The Academic Affairs Committee serves as a facilitator of discussions between the student body and the institution related to academics. The committee confronts academic concerns as they arise from the student body, advocates for positive change in the academic realm of campus, and provides availability for meetings with students, faculty, and staff to further committee objectives related to the �ۿ۴�ý mission. This committee maintains a watchful eye over core requirement changes that could affect students and pursues initiatives to improve the academic experience for the students at �ۿ۴�ý.

If you would like to get involved or learn more, please contact co-chairs, Lauren Hoffman (lhoffman25@jcu.edu) and Abigail Walker (aewalker27@jcu.edu).

The Student Affairs Committee serves as a facilitator of discussion between the student body and the institution related to student life intitiaves that are not academic related. Non-academic concerns include, but are not limited to, the health and safety of the student body, Dining Services, Residence Life, information technology (IT/�ۿ۴�ýITS), and Facilities. The committee also addresses the focus area of student organizations or student areas on campus that do not have representation through another advocacy committee.
