The committee will begin review-ing applications April 14 and forward finalists to Geoffroy, who will appoint a representative for a three-year term. Applications and nominations will be accepted until the position is filled.

The faculty athletics representative position is open to all tenured and tenure-track faculty. Applicants may not hold administrative or coaching positions in the athletic department.
