The Academic Senate is currently looking for nominees who are interested in and willing to serve on a range of senate and university committees. The nominations deadline for Fall 2025 is Friday, September 5, 2025 at 11:59 PT PDT.
Nominees must fill all general qualifications for positions. Note that some committee member and chair positions have additional requirements, such as specific rank or prior service on that committee.

About the Appointment Process
With the exception of AEBC, whose members must always be elected (and, for Fall 2025, a handful of newly created positions), outside of the spring election cycle all vacancies will be filled by appointment. During the appointment process, all vacancies are considered at large with respect to school/area, although preference will be given to nominees from the stated areas. All other criteria still apply. AEBC will oversee the appointment process.
