[Stuorg-rep] Apply to Represent Your Fellow Texas Students!

[Joshua Hardman]

Be a Texas A&M University System Regent or a Student Member of the Texas
Higher Education Coordinating Board!


In 2005, the 79th Texas Legislature authorized the Governor to appoint a
non-voting student regent for each university or university system. 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).

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.

 


For both of these prestigious leadership opportunities, the application
deadline is 5 p.m. on Tuesday, November 19.

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.
