WHO WE ARE:
The Change UIowa English (CUE) Committee is a group of undergraduate English, English & Creative Writing, and English Education students that serve as a voice to improve the quality of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within the English Department at The University of Iowa.
It is important to note that the CUE Committee is a liaison between the undergraduate English community and university administration such as the Division of DEI, the Chair of the English Department, and the Director of Undergraduate Studies. We strive to share authority with all individuals within the English undergraduate community and are happy to hear from this community in order to advocate for them.
CALLING FOR APPLICATIONS:
We are looking for 3-5 undergraduate English, English & Creative Writing, and English Education majors to sit on the CUE Committee for the 2020-2021 year.
If you are interested in joining this Committee, please apply by completing this Google Form by Sunday, October 4th, 11:59PM (DEADLINE EXTENDED). After the deadline, the Change UIowa English Petition group will vote and elect new members.
