Membership: The Student Union is made up off all enrolled students at SCI-Arc. A president, vice president, treasurer and secretary are elected to lead the forum by the student body. In additional, each studio level elects a representative.
Function: Student Union administers student activities and helps to support the student community at SCI-Arc. The Student Union helps to fund student-built work, student exhibitions, and student publications. Student Union also purchases supplemental tools for departments such as the wood shop and computer resources, and sponsors competitions and special projects. Student Union organizes “Fridays at Five,” gatherings open to the entire school that allow the SCI-Arc community to meet informally each week. Students select several speakers for the each year’s lecture series, a unique and tremendous opportunity to shape discussion at the school. One student representative sits as a full member of the SCI-Arc Board of Directors for a two-year term. This student reports directly to and from the student community to the Board. The representative also has full voting power and sits on committees that advise the Board. Two student representatives sit on the Academic Council, which meets monthly to advise the director on academic policy matters. This allows the student body a formal arena for voicing their concerns not only to the director, but also to the faculty and staff in attendance. It provides an opportunity for students to participate in discussions with the director, faculty, and staff on policy decisions. Calendar: The Student Union cabinet meets once every two weeks with the student members of the academic council and the representatives from each design studio. All school meetings are scheduled as needed. |
