• Attend faculty meetings when requested.

Qualifications of a Student Liaison:

• Strong Leadership skills
• Strong Communication skills
• Strong Organizational skills
• Ability to present class matters objectively and to represent the needs or desires of the class as a whole.

The Student Liaison’s role will in no way affect the student’s ability to access faculty, interfere with the student’s academics or participation in other extra-curricular activities.
