CEDAR email: CEDAR Student Rep Nomination and Leadership Opportunities

[Qiao, Zishun]

Hi CEDAR students!



With CEDAR less than a month away, we have started preparing for this year’s student representative election. The Student Representatives are elected to represent the students as voting members of the CEDAR Science Steering Committee (CSSC)<https://cedarscience.org/science-steering-committee> who help determine the direction and various aspect of CEDAR workshop. Student reps are responsible for organizing student-related activities at CEDAR, including Student Day. This is a two year term with a large time investment, not only around the time of the CEDAR summer workshop but throughout the year. Our student representative elected this year will serve through 2024.



Timeline: As in past years, we will be accepting nominations for the position of student representative until the end of CEDAR workshop on June 24th. Decisions will be made by the CSSC committee at the next CSSC meeting which will be held in July. Please email Meghan or me to submit a nomination for yourself or someone else.



Student Rep Requirement: To become a student representative candidate, the student must be a graduate student for the next two years, and have attended one CEDAR summer workshop (both virtual and in-person workshop count). Since the responsibilities of CEDAR student rep are to vote in CSSC meetings and organize the student events in summer workshops, the candidates must confirm their ability to attend the CSSC meetings and in-person workshops for the next two years. Students who are interested of running for student rep are encouraged to patriciate in CEDAR 2022 student volunteers team and take the roles of student newsletter writers or student co-conveners.



Meghan and I would also like to remind everyone about the student leadership opportunities we have at CEDAR 2022! If you would like to be a part of any of these leadership initiatives please feel free to email Meghan or me. These opportunities are open to both domestic and international students:



  *   Student Day and Student Newsletter: The general theme of this year’s student day is “Reconnect & Act<https://cedarscience.org/2022-cedar-workshop-agenda>!” and we’re going to include three lightning rounds (L1. Back to Basics Lectures, L2. Hands-On Tutorials, L3. Tips on Scientific Communication) as well as several general talks and DEI happy hour. We welcome student photographers, sli.do moderators and student newsletter volunteers to lead our student day. In 2020 we published the first volume of cedar student newsletter<https://cedarscience.org/sites/default/files/meeting/2020_CEDAR2020_SNL.pdf> with the help of 11 student volunteers and last year we made the second volume<https://cedarscience.org/sites/default/files/meetings/2018/Cedar_SNL_2021_revised.pdf> with 9 student volunteers. Come join our team!



  *   Student co-convener: We want to ask if anyone would like to contribute to any specific CEADR workshops<https://cedarscience.org/2022-workshops> as a student co-convener. This would involve working with workshop conveners and potentially providing a summary of the session to the student newsletter.



Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions about the leadership opportunities, and let us know of any nominations!
