FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - The Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education is seeking students to serve on a panel that would work with policy leaders on higher education issues.
The Student Advisory Group will offer input on high-profile student concerns and other matters of importance, according to statement from the council. The student panel will also help with public engagement and policy development, the statement said.
Getting input from students is especially important now, as the coronavirus pandemic affects campuses in new and unexpected ways, council President Aaron Thompson said.
“Our students have an important story to share, and their perspectives will help us emerge from this pandemic better than before,” Thompson said. “We are eager to learn from their experiences and incorporate those lessons into relevant, thoughtful policies.”
Applications for the student group will be accepted through June 5. To qualify, students must have completed their freshmen year and must be enrolled at least part-time at at a public institution for the fall 2020 semester.
