What’s in it for me? Becoming a member of one of the committees that contribute to the governance, teaching, learning and business of the University will connect you with people with the same interests and concerns as you and teach you invaluable workplace skills such as teamwork, negotiation, leadership and financial management.

You get the benefit of a real world experience and the committee gains insight into student perspectives.
