Committee Reports
Student Experience Committee
The Board received the Terms of Reference for the new Student Experience Committee which will be co-chaired by Director of Library & Student Support Services – Nuala Devlin and Dean of Students – Neil McKay.
The Committee is accountable to the Shaping Futures Board for the articulation and effective governance of the student experience activities throughout the student lifecycle that support induction, transition, retention, progression and achievement. The committee will also maintain oversight of student communications.
Some minor amendments are being made to finalise the Terms of Reference, including two members from each faculty who will be nominated by the ADADs.
