Campus Committees

Campus Committees Appointed by SAC

We are currently actively evaluating how — and weather — SAC should manage committee appointments for other campus committees. For the past few years, SAC has solicited nominations from the community for committee appointments. New members were usually appointed in May. If you would like to be considered for a committee, please email .  

Additional information (including non-SAC appointed committees) is available on the campus committees page.

How are committee members appointed?

SAC uses the following considerations when selecting staff for committees:

  • Is the staff person already serving on another committee?
  • History- did the staff person recently serve on a committee?  (if all else is equal, give a different staff member the opportunity to serve on committee)
  • Self-nomination
  • Multiple nominations for an individual
  • We look for diversity on the committees, considering:
    • Time at Macalester – SAC will try to get new and experienced people
    • Reporting lines represented
    • Parts of campus represented
    • Demographics
  • Some committees have specific requirements for membership. Please check the committee. Many committees have no restrictions.

***A reminder that a person nominated for a committee and contacted by SAC may say no to serving on a committee. In that case, SAC will begin the selection process again.
