The UVSS is separate from the University of Victoria, but one important way we are involved in the governance of UVic is ensuring undergraduate student representation on various UVic Committees and Faculty Councils.
Recruitment usually happens at the beginning of the year or beginning of the term. The UVSS Board will vote on representatives and will notify candidates after a decision is made.
If you want to get involved in decision-making at UVic, take a look at the following opportunities! See the description, eligibility, meeting schedule, as well as application deadline below.
If you are interested in applying to sit on any of these committees (or if you have any questions), please email Bunni Williams, the UVSS Director of Outreach, at outreach@uvss.ca.
- To apply, please send a brief description (150 word max) about why you think you’re a good fit for the position.
