Committees

Committee Head Applications for the 2022-2023 school year will be open from September 7th-September 23rd.

This year for general committee members we will have two rounds of committee member applications. This will allow members who are with us at the beginning of the year to hit the ground running and get to work helping our amazing committee heads, but also allow members who may not hear about our chapter until later in the semester to still have the opportunity to get involved. Both application processes are completely equal.
