What is a Committee?

The Association has two types of committees, Administrative and Standing Committees. Administrative committees take care of the internal facets of the Association. They are the behind-the-scenes workers that retain and constantly recruit members of the Association, while also ensuring that each elected member of the Association is elected fairly and that honoraria for each position within the Association are justly distributed. Administrative Committees are also comprised of Student Services. The Investment Advisory Committee is a self-sustaining Administrative Committee that allows students to invest funds from the Association into the stock market while the Tech and Media Services Committee orchestrates the Creative Media Department, which is a fully student-funded creative space equipped to help you with everything from creating a simple flyer for an event to producing a video documentary about something that you’re passionate about.

Standing Committees are comprised mainly of Senators with a few positions reserved for student representatives. These unique Committees either fund campus organizations or advocate for student interests when reviewing the language of bills.  Standing Committees meet on a weekly basis and encourage student participation.
