Student Representation on Faculty Committees

The Faculty is committed to improving the student learning experience. One of the ways the Faculty does this is through having student representation on the Faculty's committees. This representation provides students with an opportunity to be part of the formal governance of the Faculty. The aim of the student representatives is to be a voice for all Faculty students. To facilitate this representation we have listed below the 2009 student representatives below along with information about the committee(s) on which they serve.
