Please encourage both faculty and staff in your unit to uphold the College's strong tradition of shared governance by participating in the nomination processes for service on UI and CLAS governance bodies. Online nominations, which take place February 2-9, 2022, are the only way that candidates can be designated. Nominations are conducted securely on the groups’ respective websites, linked below.

We value representation in shared governance and recognize the importance of diverse perspectives and voices in our CLAS leadership groups. We encourage nominations and self-nominations of faculty and staff who identify as underrepresented minorities, Black and Indigenous people of color, LGBTQ+, people with disabilities, and other minoritized or marginalized categories.
