Committee on Committees

As described in MPC's Academic Senate Bylaws, the Committees Chair is responsible for the recruitment and replacement of faculty appointments to campus standing committees, hiring committees and special task forces.

If you are aware of a faculty position on a committee which is vacant or if you would like to volunteer for a committee, please contact the Committees Chair by email at senateexeccommittee@mpc.edu.

Committee recruitments/replacements will be identified based on specific committee needs and faculty members' interests, expertise, availability, and diversity. Openings will be announced via All Users email at least a week prior to presentation of nominees to Academic Senate. Nominees must be forwarded to the Academic Senate for approval. Once approved, appointed faculty and committee chairs will be notified of newly appointed seats by the Committees Chair or the Academic Senate President.
