The election to the Academic Senate is an honor. The Academic Senate, the highest faculty governing body, requires commitment to shared governance and faculty leadership.

Senators are committed to:

• attending Academic Senate meetings regularly
• being engaged at Academic Senate meetings
• reviewing items and being prepared before Academic Senate convenes
• serving on ad-hoc Senate sub-committees
• representing their college and communicating important information to their colleagues
• attending the Academic Senate all-faculty meeting
• being familiar with the Academic Senate bylaws and resolutions
• assisting in the nomination of faculty to serve on Academic Senate Committees and University Committees

The Academic Senate meets every other Thursday (with some exceptions) at 3:40 p.m.
