Student trustee applications available
|
"The USI student selected will have a voice on the nine-member USI Board of Trustees, bringing a student's perspective to the governing board," said Hope Fussner, chair of the Student Trustee Screening Committee and president of the Student Government Association. To be eligible to apply, a person must - be a full-time student in good standing - have a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.5 - be able to commit to a two-year term on the Board - be a United States citizen and resident of Indiana - have completed 24 semester credit hours at USI by the time of appointment (July 1, 2011). To be considered for an interview, a student should complete an application, write a 300-word essay addressing why he or she is interested in the position and what he or she can contribute to the Board of Trustees, and provide a resume. Three letters of recommendation will be required. One letter must be submitted by a member of the USI community, one by a faculty member from whom the student has taken a class, and the third by a personal or professional reference who is not connected to USI. Applications are online at www.usi.edu/trustee, along with more details about the process and the position. Applications also are available in the office of the Dean of Students, UC 1229 in University Center East. Questions about the application process can be sent to sga@usi.edu or call the Student Government Association at 812/465-1109. |
