The Committee on Committees and Faculty Senate encourage you, as members of the East Carolina University faculty, to participate in the shared faculty governance of this University by agreeing to serve as a member of a University standing committee. The institutional mission continues to be teaching, research/creative activity and service (external and internal).  Demonstrated service within our campus community is an important component of the evaluation of faculty members.  The issues addressed by these committees are vital to the mission of East Carolina University.

 

The Committee on Committees has been charged to seek faculty volunteers to serve on the various academic, appellate, administrative, Board of Trustees, and student union committees.  Faculty members currently serving on a University committee are to be commended for their dedication to University service.  If your membership term is expiring in Spring 2009 or if you are not currently on a University committee, please review the below information and consider service on one of the many committees.

 

The Committee on Committees will begin work in mid February on preparing a list of nominees for Faculty Senate consideration.  The Faculty Senate will elect the membership of each University standing committee at their organizational meeting on April 28, 2009. The Faculty Senate minutes of this meeting will serve as the official notification of committee appointments.  During Summer 2009, committee members will be notified of Fall committee organizational meetings.   

 

As of the end of Spring 2009, there will be vacancies on: 

·        19   Academic committees

·         5    Appellate committees

·         8    Administrative committees

·         6    Student Union committees 

 

Brief descriptions of each University standing committee are available for review online at:

 http://www.ecu.edu/cs-acad/fsonline/customcf/committee/briefdescriptionsallcmtes.htm.
