Volunteering Opportunities
Graduate Student representative | Food Advisory Committee
The GSA is appointing one graduate student to join the Food Advisory Committee. This is a volunteer position.
Please note that applications will close on November 2nd, 2024 at 6:00 PM EST. Selected candidates will be contacted via email the following week.
The Food Advisory Committee (FAC) has been established to create
synergy among campus food stakeholders to develop and implement a
strategic vision for Concordia’s food needs, advance quality and
sustainability objectives, and provide teaching and learning
opportunities for all.
The FAC serves as an advisory forum designed to collect insights and
provide stakeholders with enhanced decision-making capabilities.
The FAC is not a decision-making body, it is advisory.
The Committee’s key objectives include:
- Developing a comprehensive action plan for the next five years 2025-2030;
- Advising on policies related to food affordability and pricing for students, staff, and faculty;
- Promoting food sustainability practices, including waste reduction and local sourcing;
- Supporting initiatives that reflect the institution’s commitment to diversity and inclusivity in food offerings;
- Enhancing the overall dining, retail, vending and catering experience on campus;
- Reviewing and providing input on upcoming contracts with food service providers as required;
- Providing students with opportunities to learn about and contribute to a sustainable campus food system;
- Enabling open discussion about any food-related feedback, concerns, services on campus.
Graduate Student representative | Student Tribunal Pool
The GSA is appointing one graduate student to join Concordia’s Student Tribunal Pool. This is a volunteer position.
Please note that applications will close on November 2nd, 2024 at 11:59 PM EST. Selected candidates will be contacted via email the following week.
Concordia University is a comprehensive University with approximately 46,000 registered students. All matters of student discipline are dealt with in accordance with university policies. The Office of Student Tribunals is responsible for the coordination of the various panels that are called for in the relevant policies.
The majority of our panels hear matters related to academic misconduct (for example: plagiarism, cheating, etc.). Also, our panels hear cases related to behavioural misconduct (for example: fraud, sexual harassment, etc.), graduate students seeking a change to a decision made in their regard (for example: when they have been removed from their program of study) and students seeking to appeal their grades in a course.
Students who want to be part of the hearing panels must be nominated by their student association and appointed to the Student Tribunal Pool by the Senate. In order to be eligible, graduate students shall be registered in a graduate program. Students who are in failed standing, in conditional standing or on academic probation, or who have been sanctioned under the Code of Rights and Responsibilities (BD-3) or the Academic Code of Conduct within the 3 years previous to their nomination are not eligible. The term of office for student panelists is two (2) years, and may be renewed.
Once a student has been appointed to the Tribunal Pool, the Office of Student Tribunals will select panelists to sit on a particular hearing panel. During the hearing, panelists will hear evidence and arguments presented by the parties and vote on upholding (or not) the charge and, if applicable, impose a sanction. This valuable experience will sharpen students’ analytical and decision-making skills.
- The Office of Student Tribunals is responsible for hearings provided for in the Code of Rights and Responsibilities (BD-3), the Academic Code of Conduct, the Academic Re-evaluation Procedures, the Graduate Academic Appeals Procedures and any other Codes or Policies that may be adopted which refer to the Tribunal Hearing Pools.
