Mission Statement
The mission of the Adler Graduate School Student Association is to be a constructive voice for the students, encourage student participation within the school and community and be a general resource for alumni, staff and student body. Ultimately, the Association seeks to facilitate the enhancement of student leadership skills as well as encourage social interest.
Purpose of the Adler Graduate School Student Association
- Operate as an official line of communication for AGS community members; facilitate discussion between faculty, staff and student body.
- Encourage and promote extracurricular participation in the AGS community.
- Function as a general resource for faculty, staff and student body.
Structure
The Association has oversight by the Academic Vice-President with ad hoc membership by the Director of Admissions and Student Services. A faculty advisor is an active member of the association by attending meetings and providing input, guidance and direction of activity.
A traditional administrative level of leadership had been utilized (President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer) with positions filled via solicitation. As of April, 2008, an Executive Committee was established with Chair and Co-Chairs. A minimum number of four students need to be on the Committee; six to eight is highly desirable. This will ensure that there is representation by the student body at every Association meeting. If a student is willing to make the commitment to attend all Association meetings or a significant number for the year, they can move onto the Executive Committee at any time.
The Chair will rotate on every
four months basis.. Duties and tasks can be assigned to any Executive Committee member to ensure the Association continues to make forward movement.
Membership
All students are members by virtue of being enrolled at Adler Graduate School. Students can attend scheduled Association meetings at any time.
Fees
Fees are generated each semester for the S.A. from each student via registration fees. The fee amount is $5.00.
Meetings
- Meetings are held approximately every 6 weeks on the first Tuesday of the break between class sessions.
- All students are welcome to attend at any time.
- A roster of student attendance is taken at each meeting and is filed with the assistant to the president as official record that the meeting was held.
- Official agendas and minutes are prepared for each meeting
