[HSU-CoordBoardInternal] Fwd: EPC student selection

[Adrianna Perry]

To sum it up--EPC needs 2 CoordBoard members to serve ASAP. They are trying a new model this year without 2 HSU people replacing the 5 students from each academic school. 

So far, there has been no student representation on EPC. Their next meeting is tomorrow--so via email CoordBoard needs 2 volunteers to serve on EPC immediately.

My opinion is Dina should be one member (if she accepts) and then I don't think it matters who the other is--probably not someone who is already representing CoordBoard in an official capacity.

My suggestion for moving forward is email the listserve if you want to be on EPC.

Best,
--Adrianna

It's important that this issue be dealt with as Academic Affairs has been waiting since September for an answer to the original question (which Jennie Southgate posed) about getting members. Thank you!

>> Dear CoordBoard and Scope Group on Academics,
>> I am co-facilitating the Educational Policy Committee (EPC). As you know, this is an important governing committee for the college. Until this year's experiment, EPC had student members appointed by school according to school membership. In discussions last year, students stated that they did not feel they could adequately represent students since they were not connected to HSU. They felt they were redundant with faculty members of EPC who also represented schools, as they had no way to talk with students. They suggested that having 2 committed students from the student governing body would go much further in representing student ideas than having 5 students who were all members of schools. We agreed and decided on a 2 year pilot with 2 students elected/selected through HSU.
>> So far this year, there has been no student representation on this major college committee.
>> Is there any way I can be helpful in recruiting student members?
>> We meet again tomorrow at 3:30 in Cole 121 (or 101, depending on which numbering system you subscribe to :)
>> Best,
>> Laura

>>> At the beginning of the school year you had been contacted by the Dean of Faculty's office asking for your help to elect/appoint two students to the Educational Policy Committee (EPC). Yesterday Laura Wenk called me to find out if this has been completed. I assume it has at this point--it's critical that those two students be part of the conversations I suspect EPC is already engaging in. Can you please update me (and Laura, whom I copied on this email) to let us know where that students and who those students are?
