Greetings,
Interested in shaping the future of the university?
Make a difference and serve your fellow students by applying to become the
next Student Representative to the Truman State University Board of
Governors. The Student Representative plays a vital role in the
protection and advancement of student interests by regularly consulting with
the Board of Governors, the University's highest policy-making body, as well
as many other members of the University community.
As the sole student on the Board, it has been my responsibility to represent
the student opinion - your opinion - on any issue brought before the Board
of Governors, the highest governing body at Truman. If you are
selected for this position, you will help shape University policies on
issues such as tuition and student fees, University personnel, and
renovation projects.
It has been my honor serving you as the Student Representative, and I would
highly encourage you to apply. Applications are due 5:00 p.m.
Wednesday, September 30, 2009.
It is only when you speak up that the voice of the students is heard, so
please do not hesitate to contact me with your questions, comments, and
ideas at
cody@truman.edu.
