2022-2023 Ad-Hoc Committees

Purpose: Ad-Hoc Committees are typically created in situations where a task force does not apply but the Board is interested in exploring a new committee. These committees are typically lead by one or two board members and open to all students. Anyone who is interested in joining an ad-hoc committee is encouraged to email the chair of that committee.
