New Members Nomination Form

Important: This form is to be filled out by the Seminar Chair

Formal membership in a University Seminar is by nomination only. Seminar chairs nominate new members. Members are faculty or postdoctoral scholars affiliated with Columbia (including Barnard College, Teachers College, and Union Theological Seminary). Associate members are non-Columbia affiliates with equivalent experience or other academic and non-academic professionals. Both members and associate members elect the chair(s) of the seminar to which they belong. Notwithstanding the distinction between members and associate members, all members and associate members participate in each seminar as equal partners and voting members.

Members retain their appointments to the seminar until:

they resign from Columbia
they resign their membership
or the seminar requests that they be dropped for non-participation

Associate Members are appointed for renewable terms of three years.

The Director of The University Seminars reserves the right to reject a membership nomination.
