A separate committee comprising ten representatives of the undergraduate student association and ten representatives of the graduate student association will interview the candidates identified by the nominating commission. These candidates will be interviewed in <strong>May 2023</strong>. References named by the applicants will be asked to submit letters of reference prior to the interview.</p> <p>The interview commission will select three to four finalists whose names are forwarded to the Secretary and Chief of Staff to the Regents. The finalists’ Chancellors will be contacted to comment on their qualifications.</p> <p>Three finalists are interviewed in May by the Regents' Special Committee. The Special Committee submits its nominee to the Board of Regents no later than The Regents' July meeting, at which time the Student Regent is appointed. That person immediately begins serving as Student Regent-designate and is invited to participate in deliberations of The Regents but without a vote. The following July, the Student Regent begins his or her term as a voting member of the Board!</p> </div> </div> </div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="sidebar" class="column"> </div> </div></div> <div id="footer"> <div class="section"> <div class="region region-footer"> <div id="block-block-16" class="block block-block"> <div class="content"> <div class="wysiwyg_twocols layout--50-50"> <div class="wysiwyg_twocols--first bg--transparent"> <p><strong><font size="+1">Student Life</font></strong><br /> Student Success Center<br /> 500 Parnassus Ave, MU 100W<br /> phone: (415) 502-1484</p> </div> <div class="wysiwyg_twocols--second bg--transparent"> <p><a href="http://success.ucsf.edu" target="_blank"><img alt="text: Reach for success.
