  • Representatives from the Faculty of John Molson School of Business;
  • Representatives from the Faculty of Fine Arts;

Length of term

Representatives of Faculties are appointed by their respective Faculty councils typically for a three-year term, which may be renewed.

Meetings

All committees generally meet once or twice during the Fall term. The major work of the committees falls in October, November, December, or March, depending on the awards competition. Members should be prepared to set aside the equivalent of three work days in October, November, December, or January (depending on the awards competitions) for the purpose of scoring and ranking candidates’ files.
