Committees

Why sit on a committee? 

 

One way the ASUCR represents student interests and gives them power in the workings of the campus is by appointing them to committees. For details about applying to sit on a committee, contact the ASUCR Personnel Chair at 951-827-3621, send us an email at: asucrcommittees@ucr.edu, or fill out an online application. You can also pick up an actual application at the ASUCR Office (202 Commons) and turn it in there.
