Structure:

• SGC and SGA members apply (by September 23) for the opportunity, but do not need to be voted on by the entire international student body. Once elected members are determined, this elected group will select the SGA & SGC members.
• Candidates are to make video messages in English. 
• Though committee members may represent a given region, they still represent all international students and international student voters can vote on all members, not just those who are from the same region as them.
• Not all positions that represent a region need to be filled, but it's important that those groups are represented and available to be filled.
• Applications for membership open in September; voting open for 3-4 days in late September; first meeting in early October, & the year of service will be October through July.

Meeting regularity: 
Student committee members meet monthly during academic year and at least once over summer, with potential subcommittees meeting more regularly
