Open Call - Faculty Service

Faculty members are encouraged to self-nominate for the vacancies listed below. Following the Spring Elections, any seats that remain unfilled are added to the Open Call list and subsequently filled through NEAC appointments.

Vacancies include positions on Senate Standing Committees, other Senate Committees, and University Committees. NEAC certifies nominees and submits recommendations to the Academic Senate, which then approves appointments via the Consent Calendar.

Please note: Any unfilled seats will appear on the monthly Open Call and continue each month during the Academic Year until seats are filled. If you miss this month's deadline, you will have the chance to submit during the next open call session. Open calls do not run during the summer (late May to mid-August).
