Student Voice Council

WHO WE ARE

The Student Voice Council is a forum for positive, constructive, and respectful communication around opportunities to enhance the student experience at MATC through student input.  Delegates to the SVC represent their academic area and are selected based on their interest in serving in this role. There are up to two delegates in each academic area.    

At each monthly meeting, feedback and discussion around issues ranging from student recommendations, requests for feedback from campus administration, and discussion of facility enhancements occur. 

WHO IS INVITED

All Manhattan Tech students either in-person or via Zoom.

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITY OF DELEGATES:   

  • Delegates are willing to provide ideas and recommendations to enhance the student experience and provide feedback.  
  • Delegates commit to attending one meeting each month, review agendas and minutes, and are prepared to provide ideas and recommendations and engage actively in the discussion.  
  • Delegates coordinate information sharing with students and instructors in their academic area following each meeting. 
  • Delegates regularly solicit ideas and feedback from students in their area to shape the agenda for upcoming meetings and inform the discussion.   
  • Delegates review the SVC Canvas page and regularly check their email for updates and information.  
  • Delegates agree to arrange for a substitute should they cannot attend a meeting. 

INTERESTED IN BECOMING A DELEGATE? 

  • Let your instructor know that you are interested. 
  • If more than two students from your academic department wish to serve, the selection is determined using the following criteria: to ensure a mix in program-type within an area (e.g., certificate and degree students, first and second-year students), the first requester, and random probability selection (by lot). 
  • Delegates are acknowledged for their service at graduation and in the graduation program.
