Senate Committee Interest & Nominations for AY 2022-2023
April 1, 2022 12:05 PM

Dear Faculty Member:

The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Senate is seeking nominations for service on the 2022-2023 Academic Senate Committees.

Senate committees are responsible for making decisions on educational offerings, student life, campus operations, inclusiveness, information technology, academic freedom, financial affairs, benefits, and general university policies. Serving on a Senate committee can be an enriching experience that enables you to develop new partnerships, advance your leadership skills, become more engaged with the University, and have a voice in shared governance.

We acknowledge that many of us are feeling overwhelmed and pulled in multiple directions during this challenging period. Participation in Academic Senate Committees is an important way for faculty of all ranks to be a part of the shared governance process that directly impacts our university.

Nominations & Eligibility
You do not need to be a senator to serve on a committee. However, we anticipate that meetings will again be held in-person beginning in fall 2022 so you must be able to physically attend meetings on campus. Please submit your interest and willingness to serve as soon as possible but not later than Friday, April 22, 2022, at https://forms.illinois.edu/sec/9526843.
