Executive Committee

The School of Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts Executive Committee serves as an advisory body on matters concerning academic programs, the welfare of students in the school, faculty votes to amend school regulations, and faculty and administrative concerns.

The Executive Committee also provides general oversight of the academic programs in the school, brings recommendations to the dean and to the SSHA faculty, and represents the SSHA faculty in consultation with other Senate committees.

For more information regarding the executive committee and its duties, the SSHA Bylaws are available online.
