Student Participation in College Administration
Faculty Advisory Committees
Student participation on faculty committees is welcome. It is one of the most effective ways to affect positive campus changes. Listed below are the committees and their general areas of concern. Each committee has task groups which are formed as needed. If you have concerns regarding one of the committee areas and would like to become involved, please contact the Dean for Student Affairs in Warren Hall (832-7708). Your opinions can be expressed as a member of a task group or as a consultant to a task group or committee.

Faculty-Student Association (FSA)
The FSA is an educational corporation designed to provide to the College, and particularly to the students and faculty, services that are not provided for in the College budget. General policies regarding operation of Food Service and the Bookstore are determined by the FSA with guidelines established by the College and the Board of Trustees. The FSA Board of Directors consists of five administrators, five elected faculty members and five students elected by the student body. If interested, see the Coordinator of Student Life for additional information.
Student Disciplinary Review Board
Each board consists of three students, three full-time faculty members, and the Vice-President for Academic and Student Affairs or his/her designee, and is concerned with resolving issues related to violations of the Code of Conduct. The Dean for Student Affairs will convene a board as needed.
