Steering Committee Suggested Goals/Committee Goals

  • Facilitate Student participation in certain meetings, or parts of meetings, not to review nor vote on student scholarship applications, but to be aware of scholarship opportunities and committee process. A Committee Representation Preference Form will be sent to already-elected student senators during the first week of the semester, and to the remaining roster of senators culled from Club officers by the end of September. Students will be given link to your committee's webpage, so make sure the webpage has chair/secretary contact information on it, including meeting times where possible
  • How did coordinating with OAA and Marketing to encourage better advertising go? Let us know if any problems persist
  • Work on addressing problem of AI-generated essays -- consider language in application itself addressing that, could an A-generated essay be disqualifying?
  • Work with Steering Committee to draft request to OAA to change time-frame of review process so that it does not coincide with Finals Week
  • Work on developing orientation process whereby students can be made more aware of scholarships and process to apply. Ask SC to help you communicate with OAA and/or Student Activities (Brian Mitra) on this
  • Thank you for updating your membership page!
