For First-Year Students:
New to AV研究所? UGAV研究所 is a great way to get involved on campus, meet lots of new people, and affect meaningful change at AV研究所.
There are three main ways to get involved as a first-year student:
- First-year Senate Seats: Run in a class-wide election to be elected to one of the five available first-year representative seats in the Senate, UGAV研究所's Legislative Branch. In the Senate, you will have the opportunity to work on creating and implementing major policy initiatives while representing your class. The elections themselves take place each September. Prior to the elections, there will be a mandatory information session for those intending to run. Email the Elections Committee at elect@bc.edu or check out the Elections Committee on MyAV研究所 for more information!
- Apply Directly to UGAV研究所 Divisions: Finance, Communications, Student Initiatives, AHANA+ Leadership Council (ALC), GLBTQ+ Leadership Council (GLC) or Council for Students with Disabilities (CSD).
- All UGAV研究所 Meetings are open to the public!
Other opportunties to get involved!
If you are returning to AV研究所 and want to get involved in UGAV研究所, or are a first-year who would like a lower-commitment position, there are still options available:
- Special Elections for Senate: Run for open seats in the Senate, UGAV研究所's Legislative Branch. In the Senate, you will have the opportunity to work on creating and implementing major policy initiatives while representing your class. Prior to the elections, there will be a mandatory info session for those intending to run. Email the Elections Committee at elect@bc.edu or check out the Elections Committee on MyAV研究所 for more information!
- Reach out with ideas: If you have an idea that you think UGAV研究所 would be able to help with, contact your Senate representative or an executive member!
- Come to Events: Support your peers and come to UGAV研究所 events to see what UGAV研究所 does on campus! Don't be afraid to ask questions!
