John Carroll University / Student Life / Getting Involved / Student Government / Inside Student Government / Advocacy Committees

Within the Student Government Senate, there are three standing committees to focus on student advocacy. The goal of each of these committees is to represent the interest of our constituents. All of these committees work with University administration, faculty, and/or staff on problems or issues that arise, and draft proposals to come before the full Senate to make official recommendations to the University’s leadership.

Click on the link to see what each committee is responsible for and what they are currently doing. Feel free to contact each chairperson with any questions or concerns you have about their committee. Contact information can be found by following the link. We value your input.

The Academic Affairs Committee serves as a facilitator of discussions between the student body and the institution related to academics. The committee confronts academic concerns as they arise from the student body, advocates for positive change in the academic realm of campus, and provides availability for meetings with students, faculty, and staff to further committee objectives related to the John Carroll mission. This committee maintains a watchful eye over core requirement changes that could affect students and pursues initiatives to improve the academic experience for the students at John Carroll.

If you would like to get involved or learn more, please contact chair, Ryan Moore (rmoore26@jcu.edu).

The Student Affairs Committee serves as a facilitator of discussion between the student body and the institution related to student life intitiaves that are not academic related. Non-academic concerns include, but are not limited to, the health and safety of the student body, Dining Services, Residence Life, information technology (IT/JCUITS), and Facilities. The committee also addresses the focus area of student organizations or student areas on campus that do not have representation through another advocacy committee.

    ​The Committee on Sustainability aims to create a culture of sustainable development that the entire John Carroll community is aware of, engaged in, and committed to. Integrating sustainable practices are vital in order to have an environment where humans and nature can coexist, while protecting ecological health, social equity and economic vitality. The committee advances its mission through education, operations, and community partnerships for sustainable change.
