University Committees

There are student representatives on many of the university's committees, boards and working parties (for a full list of these, see the Murdoch University Website). Elected Guild office bearers (the President and Education Vice President) are Ex Officio members on many of these committees. Other student representatives on university committees are elected annually at the student elections and do not have to be elected to the Student Guild or be Guild members.
