Student Regent Applications



For those of you who are interested in getting (super) involved in the
University of California, the process of selecting the next Student Regent
of the UC is starting. The student Regent is a voting member of The Regents
of the University of California, attending all meetings of the Board and its
Committees and serving a one-year term commencing July 1st. The Board of
Regents meets six times a year, every other month, in two-day meetings.



The application for 2010-2011 student regent is now available online

at http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/regents/app10.pdf, and there will
be an informational session at UCR hosted by the current student Regent on
January 8th location to be announced.



If you want more information on what the job entails, what the selection
process is like or anything like that please contact Gary Coyne at
EVP.GSAUCR at yahoo.com



We hope to see you at our future events.  Be sure to contact me if you have
any questions, suggestions, comments, or concerns.  You can also join us on
our virtual community on Facebook.  Welcome back and see you around!



At your service,



Alex Cortez
