Committees

EGSO recruits student representatives for a variety of COE and departmental committees. For more information about serving on a committee or recruiting students to a committee, contact Sandra Schmidt (schmi276@msu.edu) or Marcy Wood (marcy@msu.edu).

Current Committees and Representatives:

 

College Curriculum Committee

The College Curriculum Committee is responsible for getting approval of new courses, changing courses, approving new programs, and changing programs. The processes must be approved at the college level and then sent forward to the University Curriculum committee. The College Curriculum meetings are only one time per month, typically on the second Monday from 1:30-3:00.

All-College Search Committee

This committee was formed to open a search for a senior level all-college faculty position. The student who will serve on the search committee is ideally a more advanced student in at least their third year in the program and someone whose work and interests are diverse enough to allow them to speak with candidates from across fields. The member should be a good listener, but also a thoughful asker of questions. The student is not appointed to represent a particular department, but to engage in conversations regardless of fields. The student member can come from EAD, TE, CEPSE, or policy. The student member will actively participate in the activities of the search committee and also be responsible for organizing meetings and events in which the students are invited into the search process (lunches with cadidates, etc.). Meeting times for the committee are not yet determined.

  • Faculty Chair:
  • Student Representative:

 

TE PhD APPC

This committee is responsible for overseeing programmatic and policy matters that affect PhD students in the CTEP program. In addition to other matters, this committee has discussed preliminary and comprehensive exams during the last year and is now considering issues related to the student handbook and the structure of the PhD program.

 

TE Search Committee

This committee organizes the searches for teacher education faculty.  The student representatives on this committee read and evaluate as many as 20-30 application folders.  Once a short list of candidates is generated, by late February or early March, the committee will be bringing candidates to visit and will want the student representative to organize sessions in which each candidate can meet with a group of students.

Selection Protocol

This protocol is currently under development so feedback is welcome. Here is our current sequence for selecting students:

  1. Students are recruited via email using the EGSOLIST
  2. Student wishing to volunteer for a committee submit their name, department (CEPSE, TE, HALE, KIN, etc), year of graduate school, list of any other committees on which they have served, and a paragraph explaining qualifications for the committee position.
  3. Students who volunteer are then sorted based upon previous committee experience (with a preference for those students with less experience) and years in graduate school (with a preference for students with more years).
  4. The committee is given the names of the two or three graduate students who rank highest in the sorting above. The committee makes the final selection.
