The following session, the 80th Texas Legislature authorized the governor to appoint a non-voting student representative to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB).<br><br>To aid the governor in his selections, the chancellor of each university system must recommend students based on applications submitted by each president on behalf of the institution's student government organization. The student appointments serve a one-year term from June 1 to May 31 of the following year. The Texas A&M University System Student Regent and the THECB Student Representative have the same rights as regularly appointed board members, except the right to vote or be counted toward a quorum for official board business. The positions serve without compensation, but will be reimbursed for expenses incurred during official board business.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b> <o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>For both of these prestigious leadership opportunities, the application deadline is 5 p.m. on Tuesday, November 19.</b><br><br>Applications are available at the links below and must be submitted to Josh Hardman in the Student Government office located on the second floor of the Rayburn Student Center.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.tamuc.edu/CampusLife/studentCenter/studentGovernmentAssociation/documents/StudentRegentApplication1314.pdf" target="_blank" title="Student Regent Application"><b>A&M System Application for Student Regent</b></a><br> <i>- <a href="http://www.tamuc.edu/CampusLife/studentCenter/studentGovernmentAssociation/documents/GuideStudentRegent.pdf" target="_blank" title="Guide to Regent Application">Guide to Regent Application</a></i><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.tamuc.edu/CampusLife/studentCenter/studentGovernmentAssociation/documents/CBStudentRepForm12.pdf" target="_blank" title="THECB Application"><b>THECB Application for Non-Voting Student Representative</b></a><br> <i>- <a href="http://www.tamuc.edu/CampusLife/studentCenter/studentGovernmentAssociation/documents/THECBStudRepApp.pdf" target="_blank" title="Guide to THECB Application">Guide to THECB Application</a></i><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Applicants for either the Student Regent or Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board positions must also complete the application for appointment by the Governor.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.tamuc.edu/CampusLife/studentCenter/studentGovernmentAssociation/documents/GovAppointmentApp.pdf" target="_blank" title="Governor Appointment Application"><b>Office of the Governor Appointment Application</b></a><br> <i>- <a href="http://www.tamuc.edu/CampusLife/studentCenter/studentGovernmentAssociation/documents/GuideAppointmentApplication.pdf" target="_blank" title="Guide to Appointment Application">Guide to Governor Appointment Application</a></i><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Applicant requirements:<o:p></o:p></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'>Must be enrolled as an undergraduate or graduate student<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'>Must be "in good standing" as certified by the registrar's office<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'>Commit to fulfill all board-related responsibilities during the term of service<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'>Maintain a statewide perspective on higher education (as opposed to representing any single college or university)<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'>Once appointed, the student regent/student representative must remain enrolled at the institution during the full term<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3'>2.5 grade point average on a 4.0 scale must be maintained to continue eligibility<o:p></o:p></li></ul><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This information is also available on the <a href="http://www.tamuc.edu/CampusLife/studentCenter/studentGovernmentAssociation/applications.aspx">SGA Website</a>.
