L&S Faculty Honors Committee Seeks Student Representative

The governing body of the L&S Honors Program and for honors policy in the College of Letters & Science seeks one student member to represent honors students, alongside a currently serving student representative.  This is a tremendous opportunity to make an impact on the Honors Program and to learn first-hand about academic governance. The two student members have voting positions on a committee eager for student input on decisions.

The honors student representatives on the Faculty Honors Committee (FHC) must make themselves available for three to four meetings (1.5 hours long) per semester.  The Fall 2014 FHC meeting schedule is as follows:

           Thursday, September 18, 2014, 10:30 am - 12pm

           Thursday, November 6, 2014, 3:30 pm -5:00 pm

           Thursday, December 4, 2014, 1030 am - 12:00 pm

Interested?? 

Please submit a letter of interest to Prof. Sissel Schroeder, the L&S Honors Program's     Director, explaining why you would like to be a member of the Faculty Honors Committee. Please include details on how your background and experience will contribute to the FHC. Also, please indicate your other major academic, work, and/or co-curricular commitments for the year. 

FHC student representatives should be members in good standing of the L&S Honors Program pursuing either the Honors in the Liberal Arts, Honors in the Major, or Comprehensive Honors degree. We are seeking applicants who will be able to serve multiple years (in other words, those who plan to graduate May 2016 or later).

Letters of interest should be submitted to honors@honors.ls.wisc.edu by the end of the day on Sunday, September 14, 2014 with "FHC Student Representative" in the subject line. Questions can be addressed to the same e-mail address.
