Click the below button to find information on each committee that has elected CLAS faculty representation. Includes meeting times and locations, committee charges and the scope of their work, and restrictions on who is eligible to serve.

Committee Information

Nominations: To nominate a colleague (or yourself), you must first identify that colleague’s GVSU email address. Once you log in to the nomination form, type that faculty member’s GVSU email address into the box associated with the particular committee/position and submit. 

Accepting a nomination:  If you self-nominated, you will get an automatic email with a link to the acceptance form. Please provide a ballot statement. It is important to give people a reason why they should vote for you.   

Voting: CLAS elections use approval voting.  Faculty vote for everyone they think can ‘do the job’ of the committee. If there are 5 people running for 2 seats on a committee and all of them appear capable of embracing the work of the committee, you may vote for all 5.  Once voting is open, click on the Ballot link.  Please be sure you have the time to look at every committee as voting can take some time to go through the entire ballot.
