3. Student Leadership Advisory Council – Applications Open
Students play a key role in student involvement. The Student Leadership Advisory Council (SLAC) regularly convenes college leaders to provide reciprocal opportunities for administrators to learn more about the student experience and for students to learn more about the College. The mission of SLAC is to enhance the FACS student experience through increasing communication between students and college administration, promoting awareness about the diversity and offerings of FACS as a college, and encouraging student engagement with other students, faculty, staff, alumni, and administrators.
If you are an aspiring FACS Student Leader and interested in joining, please complete this form by 12:00 p.m. (noon) on Tuesday, September 8, 2020.
