Committees meet periodically during the academic year and membership is not limited to members of the University Senate, says University Senate President-Elect Kristin Wendland, senior lecturer in the Department of Music and director of undergraduate music studies.

Those interested in serving on a University Senate committee during the 2016-2017 academic year are invited to submit a resume and brief statement of interest to Ryan Larocca, senate assistant, at ryan.larocca@emory.edu by Friday, April 15.

Emory community members now serving on the above committees need not reapply, notes Wendland.
