Letter to the AAC Community, December 2019

To the AAC Community,  

We would like to begin by thanking everyone for their patience as the AAC has undergone significant transition over the past few months. Many changes have occurred, and while we recognize that change can be difficult, please know that all of these changes are meant to benefit the student experience and establish an intentional and positive framework for the AAC community to continue to grow and thrive.

We hope that you keep this in mind as we continue to assess and revise the current AAC programs and offerings. We ask that you keep an open mind as you read forward, and that you take time to reflect on how you can best help contribute to building this new framework.

With the new semester beginning next month, we want to announce the following changes regarding the upcoming nominations for the AAC program leadership roles:

 

2020-2021 Team 442 Members: 

Team 442 will remain the leadership team for the AAC programs, and will be made up of the following people: 

  • 2 PAAC co-chairs    

  • 2 AASIA co-chair

  • 2 AAHM fellows

These 6 fellows will report to and be supported by the AAC staff.

You may notice that there are currently no NUGOAL fellows listed. A decision has been made, with the support of our fellow Cultural Life team members, to take the NUGOAL program offline for the 2020-2021 academic year. This is not a dismantling of the program, but rather, a time to assess the program curriculum and its goals and visions. The current enrollment to NUGOAL is comparatively small relative to the financial investment being put into the program. Our intention is to modify the NUGOAL curriculum to cultivate more impactful and intentional future leaders for our student organizations and beyond. This is in effort to distinguish it from other mentoring programs, such as the AASIA program. 

  

Team 442 Nomination process in Spring 2020: 

The Team 442 nomination and selection process for the 2020-2021 school year will happen as follows:  

  • In the first week of the spring semester, forms will go out to the AAC community inviting members to nominate people they think are fitting for each role, along with qualifications supporting the nomination.

  • Nominations will be reviewed by the current leadership of each respective group and select group advisors who will help advise the AAC staff on making the final selection.

  • New Team 442 final selections will be announced at Inspir(Asian) on April 13th, 2020.

Thank you for taking the time to read through these updates and changes. We look forward to continued collaboration with you as we grow and strengthen our AAC community.

 

Sincerely,

 

Rachel Moo & Karina Hathaway
