CURRENT SEC REPRESENTATIVES

The current members of Student Executive Council serve their department and the student body at-large. They work on connecting majors within their departments with the Chair and with the Dean. Any concerns that students have can be voiced anonymously (or non-anonymously) through their departmental representative or an at-large representative.

We are always looking for at-large representatives who would be willing to work vigorously on committees. We also want all departments within the College of Arts and Sciences to be represented. Use this page to find your representative and to contact if you have a concern. If your department is not represented, think about joining SEC and have your voice heard directly. You do have the power to make change!

Michael Sullivan
Chair of SEC

My name is Michael Sullivan and I am the chair of the SEC. Currently, I am a senior and I have been a member of this council, as a Liberal Studies representative, for over three years. I am extremely excited about the direction that the SEC is moving in this year. We are looking forward to implementing many changes and making the College of Arts and Sciences even better. However, the SEC’s main purpose is to serve you, the students. Therefore, we need your help! Please get involved and contact me or your representative with any questions, concerns, or suggestions. sull2010@seattleu.edu
