College Union Application

Dear College Union Applicant:

We are excited by your interest in being part of the 2022-2023 College Union board!

The board consists of the President and twelve additional positions: Business Manager, Public Relations (2), Graphics Designer, Event Coordinators (4), Student Arts Coordinator, Concerts Manager, Student Music Coordinator and Audiovisual Technician.

We ask that you consider the following expectations before you apply:
1. You are committed to the purpose of College Union as described above, taking ownership of your job duties, events, and helping others in theirs.
2. You are committed and dedicated to College Union for the full academic year. This means that you are willing to forgo other commitments so that you may commit more fully to College Union.
3. As a student leader in the ICAM office, you currently must have and thus maintain a 2.5 GPA.
4. You are ready to be challenged and confronted with yourself, as you and your group strive to shape each other into the likeness of Christ.

The complete application consists of the application form and two references (one from a faculty member or staff person and one from a peer). It is your responsibility to email your references this form and make sure your references have completed your reference form by March 18.

INDIVIDUAL INTERVIEW: All applicants will be notified about moving forward in the interview process at a later date. We will be in touch via email about scheduling interviews. Please come to the interview with a creative expression of yourself by showing what can be done with a simple paper bag. Your only guideline is to be creative. If you are selected for an interview, you can pick up your paper bag at the front desk of the ICAM office . Thank you for your cooperation!
