Nominations to Serve on a Forum Council, Open Until COB Today!
The Forum Councils do important work supporting our students; recognizing our faculty and staff; and making our college a friendly, safe and efficient place to work and study. Getting involved is a wonderful way to learn about and contribute to your campus and college.
Campus Forum representation is based on primary work location, not reporting lines.
Forum FAQs:
What is the term of office?
The term of office is two years.
What is the time commitment?
Forums meet monthly from September through April. Each Forum sets its own meeting day/time based on member availability.
How do I become a College Senator?
The Forum Councils elect senators to the College Senate for one-year terms. As a member of your campus’s Forum Council, you may be elected to a senatorial seat.
I report to a central unit. Which Forum do I choose?
Faculty and staff who report to central college units can now run for election at their primary work location. Advisors, librarians, IET faculty, financial aid, IT, parking, police, etc., can represent the campus they call “home.” For those located at a central administrative office (Brault, Pender or Pitney Bowes), the College Staff Forum Council is your representative body.
Nominations are open until 5 p.m. on Friday, March 8, and elections will occur Monday, March 18, through Thursday, March 21, at 11:59 p.m.
