Applications to become the next student representative to the Truman Board of Governors are now available.
 
The student representative plays a vital role in the protection and advancement of student interests, regularly consulting with the Board of Governors, the highest policy-making body for the University. The Board plays an important role in shaping different aspects of University policy. With students making up the majority of the community, it is important that the Board has a strong student member to further their constituency’s needs, interests and concerns. It is the responsibility of the student representative to communicate these ideas with the Board as well as with many other areas of the campus community.
 
Serving as the student representative to the Board provides the opportunity to represent the student body on issues such as tuition, student fees, University personnel, spending and policy. 
 
Initial applications can be found online here and should be submitted electronically to studentgovernment@truman.edu no later than 11:59 p.m. Nov. 1. Interested students should also fill out, print and submit the Disclosure and Authorization Regarding Investigation for employment release form and the Background Check Release Form to the Office of Student Engagement located in the Student Union Building Room 3100 by 5 p.m. Nov. 1.
