Application for ACSS Executive Team Now Open - Apply Before September 17th!!!

ACSS Executive Applications Now Open!!

Who are we looking for?

Students who are motivated, collaborative, passionate about improving the CS experience for everyone and enjoy being a part of a team! Even if you’re not sure you’re “qualified,” we encourage you to apply — we're looking for potential and enthusiasm more than experience.

Current open positions are:

· First-year Representative(s): A great way for first-year students to get involved, meet new people, and building experience in the society. As a first-year rep. you'll help make sure that other first-years feel included and heard as the new students on campus. You're the friendly face within a new group of students and represent them at our executive meetings.

· Treasurer: The treaseurer of ACSS is suitable for (upper year) students who have experience dealing with budgets, funding applications and reimbursements. Students applying for this role must be detail-oriented and good at keeping track of the financials of the ACSS. Experience is helpful, but not required.

· Social Media Coordinator: Chronically online students may consider applying for the social media coordinator position. This role is the center of all communications with other students and faculty in the department. As a social media coordinator, you are responsible for designing and posting content to promote events for other students to keep people in the know.

· Event Coordinator(s): For those who love to plan and create fun events, the event coordinator position might be up your alley. All of our events could not be possible without our event coordinator(s) who brainstorm and collaborate with others to provide fun events for all students. We are always looking for new ideas to keep the CS students happy.

Fill out this short application form by September 17th to be considered for the executive team:
