The Student Leadership & Advisory Council (SLAC) is composed of students representing each department in the College of Arts and Sciences. Students are appointed by the Dean of the College in April of each year after being recommended by their department chairs in consultation with the faculty to serve for a one-year term. Students may be rising sophomores, juniors, or seniors. Sophomores or juniors may serve for a second term. The Council meets approximately once a month to provide advice to the dean about the programs of the College and to assist with projects. Among the tasks of the Council are the following:
* To suggest how the College may better serve its students and propose new services or events that will promote the College’s academic mission
* To assist departments with curriculum and program reviews, especially by helping to survey students and alumni
* To provide advice about how to improve advising in the College
* To provide advice about the publications, the web site, and the marketing plan of the College
* To suggest programs for inclusion in the College’s many academic programs, including “Integrative Conversations” events
* To present student perspectives to the dean on important issues involving academics and student life
* To manage parts of the communication plan especially reserved for the Student Leadership and Advisory Council To host the annual CAS Senior Toast for graduating seniors and retiring CAS faculty
