SUPRA Committees
SUPRA’s committees meet regularly to direct different aspects of the Association. All Councillors are required to sit on at least one committee, but other interested Constituents are also welcome to participate and give suggestions and feedback. Remember that SUPRA is there to represent all postgrads; and we especially appreciate any suggestions or input that Constituents may have about matters that impact on your study conditions.
At the SUPRA Extraordinary General Meeting on 16 November 2006 a motion was passed to rename the standing committees of SUPRA. The aim of this was to better reflect the current situation and improve the functioning of the committees. These changes were then approved on 4 December 2006 by the University of Sydney Senate. The Standing Committees of Council are as follows:
- The Management Committee
- The Policy Committee
- The Publications Committee
- The Activities Committee
For further details on each of the SUPRA Committees, please visit the pages by following the links on the above left. These pages also include the minutes of each Committee's meetings.
