Apply to sit on the AUSU Indigenous Student Representation Committee
We are happy to announce that we have formed a new ad-hoc Indigenous Student Representation Committee. The goal of the committee is to help engage Indigenous students in the development of an organizational Indigenization strategy.
Apply to join the Indigenous Student Representation Committee!
This is a great way to get involved with your Students’ Union, represent your fellow students, and help break down barriers for Indigenous students.
You can apply no matter where you live – meetings are by teleconference and committee work is done online! Must be an AUSU member to apply.
Committee members should be prepared to attend one teleconference meeting per month (approx. 1 to-1.5 hours), and devote a few hours to committee-related business per month. The committee term will be approximately eight months, from July 2020 to February 2021, unless extended by council. Committee members will also earn a small honorarium.
If you are interested in joining the AUSU Indigenous Representation Committee, fill out the application form and submit it to governance@ausu.org.
The deadline to apply is July 17 at 4pm MT.
