Hello College of the Environment Undergrads and Grads,


The Student Advisory Council (SAC) is the Dean's level service body
representing all academic units and relevant RSOs at both graduate and
undergraduate levels. We are currently looking for the following new
members:


*ATM S Undergrad*

*ESS Undergrad*

*ESS Grad*

*MarBio Undergrad*

*OCEAN Undergrad*

*SAFS Undergrad*

*SAFS Grad*

*SEFS Grad*

*SEFS Undergrad's (Multiple Positions) *

*RSO/At Large Representatives (Undergrad or Grad, Multiple Positions)*



The mission of the SAC is to act as a voice for the student population in
the College of the Environment. Council members provide communication
pathways between themselves, their student communities, and the Dean’s
Office. By regular advising, dialogue, and collaboration with the Dean and
Associate Deans of the College, we provide recommendations on issues such
as, but not limited to, College-level budgets, new initiatives, policies,
and planning that affect students such as admissions, curriculum, and JEDI
(justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion).



*Past SACs have: *

   - provided input on Dean's Office leadership hires such as the new
   Associate Dean of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.
   - recommended new initiatives such as the FieldNotes
   <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://fieldnotesjournal.org/__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!kJThoxa393LGPvnt6nQ1OeEWuNkZ0aWrFjZNlgcFMH_SPf0ZZa6LJUGuIgJIwRogWicvxs2SHCxx2Q$>
    undergraduate research journal which is now supported annually as a
   credit-bearing class.
   - provided specific input on new funding initiatives submitted to the
   Provost’s Office in years when such funding has become available.
   - provided input on potential cuts to the College budget, in years when
   the University has had to cut the amount of permanent funding to the
   colleges.
   - reviewed and provided critical feedback on new undergraduate
   recruitment plans and associated materials.
   - provided input to the Dean on matters of import to specific student
   groups, including: maintaining and sustaining the UW Student Farm,
   recruitment and retention of a more diverse student body, the (then
   proposed) DIV requirement, the (then proposed) Marine Biology major.
   - annually selected the College Graduation Gift.



*Benefits of serving on the SAC include:*

   - Getting a behind-the-scenes look at how the College of the Environment
   is organized, and how policies and budgets shape the work of the College.
   - Developing and incubating initiatives and policies that may continue
   after you are no longer a student.
   - Expanding your network. Make meaningful connections with the Dean, and
   with students from across the College.
   - Representing students in your major/program in College-level
   discussions.



Members serve 1-year terms (Autumn - Spring) with a second year
reappointment possible. The total annual commitment is to attend 3-4 meetings
per quarter, except summer (typically 90-minutes plus some preparation for
meetings).



To serve on the SAC, students must be making satisfactory progress in their
degree program at time of application and throughout their service on the
council.
