Your student union conducts much of its work and hashes out many of its decisions through its many committees—and you can be part of the process! The SSMU is currently seeking members at large for the following committees:
– Funding Committee (which allocates funding to different campus groups and initiatives)
– Finance Committee (which oversees the creation of SSMU’s budget)
– Financial Ethics Research Committee (which is responsible for reviewing the SSMU’s financial ethics and this year will be working on Ethical Purchasing and Ethical Investment policies)
– External Affairs Committee (which works with the VP External on mobilization, lobbying, and policy development)
– Operations Management Committee (which oversees decisions about SSMU’s operations, e.g. Gerts Bar)
– Interest Group Committee (which evaluates SSMU club applications, reviews changes to clubs’ Constitutions, and addresses other issues relevant to SSMU groups)
– Students’ Society Programming Network (SSPN) (which works with the VP Internal to plan SSMU’s large events, including Four Floors, Faculty Olympics, and SSMU Awards)
You can find out more about SSMU Committees here. To apply, please send a cover letter and CV to secgen@ssmu.mcgill.ca. The deadline for applications is Friday September 23rd.
