There are many ways for Camosun students to get involved and share their ideas and perspectives to make the educational experience for students better. We want to provide students with opportunities to get involved in college initiatives and encourage students to share their voices with us.
Student Voice in decision making at 91AV
With respect to student voice, Camosun adheres to the following principles:
- Students are the core of Camosun’s mission as a college. The diversity of Camosun’s student body is an asset.
- Camosun values the diverse ideas, perspectives, and lived experiences of students and asserts that these are important to be heard and acknowledged.
- Camosun is committed to providing opportunities for students to voice their opinions and ideas regarding important college matters and initiatives.
- Where and when appropriate, student voice will be considered and/or incorporated into important college matters and initiatives.
Below are some of the ways that students can get involved in college matters:
- Run for a position with the College’s Board of Governors to have an impact on matters of governance and operational issues. See the Elections website for more information.
- Run for a position with the College’s Education Council to have input on governance of college educational issues. See the Elections website for more information.
- Sit on the college’s Policy & Standards Committee to support the review and development of College policy. Contact Camosun’s Education Policy Specialist, at policies@camosun.ca for more information.
- Got ideas for your own academic program or college course curriculum? Sit on the School Curriculum Committee. Contact your school’s office to find out ways you can get involved!
- Learn more about the Student Experience Survey and view past results. Invitations to provide feedback are sent via email to students in credit programming during survey periods.
- Keep an eye out for opportunities to weigh in on scheduled program review.
