Council

Call for Volunteers for 2005-2006 Committee Service: Deadline April 15, 2005

To:       University Faculty, Penn Professional Staff Assembly, and Weekly-Paid Professional Staff Assembly Members

From:  2004-2005 University Council Committee on Committees

RE:      Volunteers Needed for Committee Service

The University Council 2004-2005 Committee on Committees invites you to nominate yourself or others for service on University Council Committees. Council committees serve as advisory bodies in shaping academic/administrative policy, in the administration of honorary degrees, and in assisting the administration of operations such as the bookstores and libraries. Please consider taking advantage of this opportunity to learn about the administrative structure of the University and have input into its decision-making.

Membership on the committees listed—except as noted—is open to faculty and staff, and we invite individuals who have previously served to volunteer again. We also encourage faculty and staff who have not previously participated to volunteer so that committees may have a mix of new ideas and experience.  Most committees are also open to students; their participation is being solicited through other channels. 

Please submit nominations by April 15, 2005, using the form to the right.

To have an idea of a particular committee’s work, you may wish to review its most recent annual report published in Almanac by visiting the University Council website at www.upenn.edu/secretary/council/committees.html.
