Dear Solidarity Cabinet Chair Applicant:
We are really excited about your interest in leading the 2023-2024 Solidarity Cabinet. Solidarity Cabinet's mission is to promote Christ-centered diversity through Biblical justice and anti-racist education, as well as to support collaborative student programming that provides space for race-based advocacy, learning, and community building.
Leading a group that promotes discussion of this nature requires a great amount of energy and vision. Next year’s board will consist of 5-7 positions (apart from the Chair) ranging from: Administrator, Public Relations Coordinators, Event Coordinators, Mathetes Coordinator and Chaplain. Please consider filling this role only after praying about it and discussing it with one of us or other current cabinet members.
Additionally, please take into account the following expectations before you apply:
- You are committed to the purpose of Solidarity Cabinet as described above. You will preserve and advance the vision of racial reconciliation in faithful and innovative ways.
- You are committed and dedicated to leadership of Solidarity Cabinet for the full academic year. This means that you are willing to forgo other commitments so that you may be able to commit more fully to Solidarity Cabinet.
- As a student leader in Student Involvement, you must have and maintain a 2.5 GPA.
- 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. Flexibility in leadership is paramount.
- You are able to return to campus on August 13th for Student Leadership Training.
- You will plan and preside over all weekly meetings and the majority of—if not all—Solidarity Cabinet events.
- You will read all Solidarity Cabinet readings (examples include Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria by Beverly Tatum, White Awake by Daniel Hill and A Race is a nice thing to have by Janet E Helms).
All information received both in your application and from references will be kept private. The complete application is due by Tuesday March 15th. The application consists of the application form and two references (one from a faculty or staff member and one from a peer). Please send each of your references this form.
