Welcome to the Associated Students of the University of Washington Volunteer site! I am so excited you are interested in getting involved with the ASUW!
As a student run organization, we rely on our student volunteers to represent the Association on our many committees. Your role within the Association is absolutely vital. As an ASUW representative, you serve as the voice of both the Association and the student body. Your voice has a great impact on our campus.
Our committees are separated into three categories:
ASUW Committees: committees in which you will work with other ASUW students to improve the Association.
University Committees: committees in which you will work with University faculty, staff and/or administration to work toward improving campus life.
Faculty Councils: councils in which you will work with faculty, staff and/or administration on both faculty and campus wide goals.
The volunteer selection process is as follows:
- Apply to Volunteer
- Submit responses to a Catalyst survey that is e-mailed to your UW e-mail.
- If selected, come in for an interview with the chair of the committee and me. It's an informal interview so you don't have to dress up. It lasts about 15-20 minutes. We just want to get to know you!
- I will contact you to inform you whether you have been selected for the position.
I believe that each one of you has a unique perspective that would be an asset to the ASUW. I encourage you to apply to any committees in which you are interested, regardless of experience. Your passion is what the Association seeks. Please take a few moments to search the site and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
I look forward to working with you on improving student life.
