Leadership Opportunities
Committees
Joining a committee is a great way to build your leadership skills while making some great friends. The biggest regret that most of our members have is that they didn’t join a committee sooner. No prior experience is necessary, just a genuine interest in the committee and the willingness to work hard. Being a part of a committee also allows you to meet regularly with a great group of members and most people develop lasting friendships with their fellow committee members.
You can apply to be on a committee at the beginning of fall and winter semester, as well as in April. A short application and interview is required so that we can place you on the right committee for you. Descriptions of each committee are listed below.
