Committees & Task Forces
Involvement in committees and task forces is open to all students and advisors—and requires no prior MACURH experience. Committees run year-round and work to achieve common objectives listed in the policy book or in the committee's description. Task forces are goal-oriented and dissolve upon the achievement of the task force's goal(s). The frequency of meetings varies from group to group.
