Nominations are now being sought for candidates to fill student representative positions on the College Board and Education Council.

The positions – two on the board and four on the council – each have a one-year term, starting Sept. 1, 2018 and ending Aug. 31, 2019.

The nomination period closes Tuesday, Feb. 27, 2018 at 4pm.

The role of the Douglas College Board is to act on behalf of the public and oversee the affairs – including property, revenue and expenditures – of the College. The Board meets seven times annually, and holds a strategic/educational retreat each year.

The Education Council at Douglas College is responsible for developing policies that reflect the Educational Council mandate in the College and Institute Act.
