Assignments

Although this website is updated regularly, there may be occasions when someone has recently been appointed to a committee and has yet to be added to this webpage.  Appointments to committees under the Senate are made via a consent calendar brought by the AVC of the Senate, currently AVC Ranko Heindl, to the Executive Committee and the Senate.  Appointments and removals will not appear on the committee assignments and vacancy pages until after they are approved by the Executive Committee and Senate.  We thank you for your patience.

Please contact the Committee on Committees Representative for your college (see below), the Chair of the Committee on Committees, Ranko Heindl, to verify that the vacancy you are interested in is still available.
