The Student Affairs Committee is planning to announce the opening of the student representative seat on the committee. The current representative is getting ready to move on from Northern Essex Community College and has been helping to draft the job that will be presented to the student population. Nominations need to be submitted by the end of November. 

Lisa Fabbri, a current member of the student affairs committee and an associate professor at NECC highlighted that the student representative was a “necessary piece of the student affairs committee. This is why we are here, for the students. Making sure we are hearing the student’s voices and addressing them to the best of our ability.” 

Sara Codair who is also a student affairs committee member said that “everything we do as a college affects students.” 

The student representative would bring student issues to the Student Affairs Committee’s attention. Mary Hooper the current student representative explained that the committee was “looking for a really dedicated student,” one that could be actively involved on campus with student life.  

The Student Affairs Committee hadn’t had a student representative for quite some time until Hooper and is hoping to avoid the seat sitting empty. 

The Student Affairs Committee, which is part of the College Advisory Group, helps to advise college leaders. 

Anyone joining the committee will have a rare chance to help influence policy on high level. 

Helping to bring attention to issues that the student body might have.
