Otherwise known as the RISD Student Alliance Executive Committee- comprised of 7 elected student individuals serving as the organizational force behind Student Alliance. The team meets a minimum of once a week. Last year we began taking minutes at these meetings as well. Generally they have been for internal distribution as well as sent to Blair DeSt. Croix (Advisor to Student Alliance, OSL), Kathy Jensen (Advisor to Department Representatives), and Barbara Feinman (Interim Associate Provost, Student Affairs). HOWEVER, in collaboration with the school’s efforts to increase administrative transparency within RISD, we have decided to make these minutes public by posting them on our website. So, if you are curious what actually goes on behind the scenes, check them out!
Previous Excomm meeting minutes are available upon request with Blair DeSt. Croix at the Office of Student life.
