Application due date extended to 6 December 2019.

Applications are now being accepted for the Student Representative to the University of Missouri Board of Curators position.  This position, which has a term of two calendar years (January 2020 – December 2021), is crucial to ensuring student-centric university policy and is an exceptional experience in which a student assists in the governance of Missouri’s second largest employer and only university system.  This individual plays a crucial role in voicing students’ interests and concerns at the highest level of University governance, as well as in being a key communicator of University decisions to student populations.  It is an excellent opportunity for students interested in leadership, higher education, politics, and student engagement.

            The application can be found online here, which includes more details of the job description and key competencies associated with this position, as well as other requirements associated with the application process.  Because the selected applicant will receive nomination by the Missouri Governor and confirmation by the Missouri State Senate, there are several parts of this application that are necessary to follow state statute.  

            Applications must be returned to the Office of Student Involvement (Student Union 320) no later than 5:00pm on December 6, 2019.  For a full list of important dates and deadlines, please see the application.
