[Biostudent] Recruiting for the Arts & Sciences Advisory Council for Students

[BIOLOGY via Biostudent]

The Arts and Sciences Advisory Council for Students is the student advisory board for Dean Harris of the College of Arts and Sciences. The Council is made up of roughly 8 undergraduate and 4 graduate students per year. Formally, they review and approve course fees and advise the dean on budgetary matters, but informally advise on various issues that might come up, including the construction of the Life Sciences Building and remote learning/shift back in person.

By serving on ASACS, students have the opportunity to regularly interact with Dean Harris and hear from and raise concerns to other decision makers within the College and University. This service opportunity allows graduate students to learn more about how a large, R1 university functions and how projects are implemented across the college. ASACS members become familiarized with the college budget and discuss the impacts of financial instruments including extramural grants, endowments, tuition dollars, start-up funding, and TAships. Furthermore, ASACS members provide feedback on teaching and evaluation, classroom technology, and campus facilities. Other topics might include reimagining the humanities both as a profession and area, and discussions about the role of the public University. Finally, ASACS approves course fees for classes within the college.

We are currently recruiting new members to begin serving at the start of the next academic year. Please note that only students majoring or intending on majoring in a program in one of the departments listed here are eligible to apply: https://artsci.washington.edu/academics/all-departments-centers (Departments in College of Arts & Sciences).
