Our Charter:
The Students’ Committee shall have as its function to keep the Council and the association’s membership informed of the current interests, needs, and professional orientations of American Studies students. The Students’ Committee shall be composed of no less than six and no more than ten members of the association, two of whom shall be the student members of the Council. These eight non-Council members shall be named by the Executive Committee with the approval of the Council, following an open call to the membership for self-nominations and suggestions. Each of these members shall serve two-year, non-renewable, staggered terms. The majority of the Students’ Committee shall be students. For this purpose, student members of the association shall be defined as undergraduate or graduate students officially enrolled, at the beginning of their term, in a degree-granting program. The chair of the Students’ Committee shall be named from the committee’s membership by the Executive Committee with the approval of the Council and shall serve a single term not to exceed two years. The executive director shall, ex officio, be a member of the Students’ Committee.
