Candidate Advisory Board (Volunteer), Reach University

Ready to help shape Reach University's future? The Office of Continuous Improvement, in the Office of the Provost, is inviting current candidates to join the first cohort of our newly established Candidate Advisory Board (CAB).

As a CAB member, you'll join a community of peers to share your feedback on Reach's initiatives, programs, and policies. Your voice will help represent graduate and undergraduate candidates across the university, and you'll have a direct line to our Executive Cabinet and leadership team.

We're looking to welcome around 10-15 volunteer members for this first cohort, though the exact number will depend on who applies. To join, you just need to be a current Reach University candidate.
