Call for applications for the Student Organization and Journals Committee (SOJC) 

Dear Students,

We are excited to call for applications for the Student Organization and Journals Committee (SOJC).

The SOJC works with the Director of Student Organizations and the Student Representative Board (SRB) to represent the interests of student organizations and journals. This could be a great opportunity to advise the SRB on potential institutional changes in procedures for funding for organizations, coordination of activities and collaboration among groups, and procedures for the creation of student groups.

We are calling for applications for the following roles:
1. At least one member who is on the executive board of a student organization;
2. At least one member who is on the upper masthead of a student journal, and;
3. Possibly two students who fall in neither category, for a total of at least four (4) students.

To apply for any of the above positions, please email your Director of Student Organizations, Valérie Duchesneau, atvduchesneau@jd14.law.harvard.edu, with a list of your involvement with student organizations and journals (position and name of student org and/or journal). Applications should be received no later than Thursday, November 8th, at midnight.

I look forward to working with you this year!

Valérie Duchesneau
