I was excited to see the public response to the Board of Trustees' proposed Statement of Expectations. The student trustees served as excellent conveyors of that response when the Board discussed the topic, and the Board is now in the process of revising the statement. I think this shows the importance of the student trustees.
With that, I would like to encourage any eligible student to apply for this respected and vibrant position. The position is open to students who are available to serve a two-year term during their undergraduate or graduate studies at OU. The application is available on the Board of Trustees Web site: www.ohio.edu/trustees in the Membership Selection section, or in the Student Senate office, Baker 305. Information sessions about the position are also being held between now and the deadline, Feb. 27.
From speaking with former student trustees, I can say that holding this position can have a tremendous impact on a person's life. It is an opportunity to learn and to serve your fellow Bobcats.
Sally Neidhard is a senior studying journalism and chair of the Board of Trustees Student Member Selection Committee.
