University Committees Representatives
As the official representative voice for all Sonoma State University students, the Associated Students appoints students to serve on University committees, alongside, faculty, staff and administrators. University Committees provide counsel to the University regarding planning, academics, student life and a variety of issues.
Student representation on University committees allows students to have input in the shared governance process of the University and voice the perspective and concerns of students at SSU.

What is a University Committee?
University committees are a group of faculty, staff and students
formed by the University administration to work on an
issue pertaining to that committee’s purpose.
How much of a time commitment is it to be a member
of a University Committee?
Depends on the committee. Some committees will only meet
once a month and others will meet biweekly. However, each
meeting will only last from 1-2 hours. You are expected to
report back to the Associated Students after each committee
meeting.
What is your purpose as a committee member?
Your purpose as a member of a committee is to participate
in shared governance with the rest of the SSU campus
and advocate on behalf of the students on those issues
discussed at University Committees.
