UHON Council
The UHON Council is a registered
UTC student organization made up of 17 student members, with
four representatives elected by each UHON class level plus one
associate representative. One or two alternates are also chosen
from each class in case one of the elected representatives becomes
unable to serve. Elections for all representatives except freshmen take place electronically at the end of the preceding spring term. Freshman representatives are electedduring the first general
UHON meeting of the fall term.
The Council functions as the governing
body for UHON student activities and as liaison between the
student body and the UHON faculty and staff. The work of the
council is organized through seven committees, each of which
is chaired by one or two UHON council members. The balance of
committee membership is drawn from the UHON student body. All
UHON students are required to serve on at least one of the committees
each year. |
