Our alumni play an important guiding role within the University’s community. We are looking to appoint an OU graduate to Senate to be involved in the decision-making processes of the OU and representing the graduate body of the University.
Senate is the academic authority of the University which, subject to the powers of the Council, is responsible for promoting the academic work of the University both in teaching and research. For further information, please view our Senate Constitution and Membership document.
As the graduate representative on Senate, starting in February 2013 for a term of four years, you will be invited to attend four meetings a year at the OU main campus in Milton Keynes (reasonable travel expenses will be paid). Full details of the role and responsibilities can be found in our Introduction to Senate Meetings document.
To apply please complete our online form, stating why, in no more than 200 words, you (or someone else) would be the best OU graduate to represent the alumni body on Senate. Deadline for submission is 17:00 on 20 November 2012. We will contact all nominees in January 2013 with the outcome of their nomination. Those shortlisted will be called to interview.
