The function of the student members of the UC-Ow is to bring the student perspective forward in the discussion of educational themes and to think critically about these on behalf of the student as a stakeholder. Students who have previously been active in a Faculty Council, the University Council or a program committee are encouraged to respond. Your experience in talking about quality of education and your student network will serve you particularly well in student membership. Given the advisory role of the UC-Ow, you may as a student member of the UC-Ow, you may not be a member of a Faculty Council or the University Council at the same time.
