The California State Student Association is accepting applications in its annual search for a new student trustee to serve as the voice for CSU students on the CSU Board of Trustees.
The Board of Trustees are responsible for creating policies on student fees, admissions, financial aid, technology, and student services that affect more than 450,000 students, easily making it the highest policy planning committee in the CSU system. The position of student trustee is the highest and most prestigious position a CSU student can hold.
The primary responsibility of a student trustee consists of presenting the issues, positions, and perspectives of CSU students. A student trustee holds the same powers and responsibilities of the other trustees and is paid $100 a day for conducting the business of the Board as well as attending the seven regularly scheduled meetings per year.
Applications must be mailed to the Office of University Affairs, 401 Golden Shore, Long Beach, CA 90812 by 5:00 pm on Friday, Feb. 22. Interested students can get more information and instructions on how to apply on the CSSA website at www.csustudents.org.
Interviews for candidates are scheduled for Friday, May 12 at CSU Fullerton. Following the process, the CSSA will forward the names of two to five finalists to Governor Schwarzenegger who will then make an ultimate decision.
