Participation on a committee enables faculty to impact the college beyond their classroom. Your voice and experience matter, and you can help shape the direction of college practices and policies. If you are interested in joining a committee, contact the committee lead. If you need more guidance, please contact Senate President Leticia Barajas (@email) or 2nd Vice-President Julie Bernard (@email).
