Senate Committees
Committees are chaired by serving senators, but all faculty members are invited and encouraged to participate and serve on committees. Please contact the committee chair to indicate your interest, or just attend a regularly scheduled committee meeting. Click on the link to the individual committee page for more information.
Senators are assigned as liaisons to each of the departments in the School of Medicine and to the Graduate School of Nursing, Post-Graduate Dental College, and the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute. Senate liaisons ensure that all functional areas have a point of contact on the senate for two-way information exchange.
