The Rowe Scholars Program has dual governance. In addition to the Rowe Scholars Steering Committee, the program relies on the leadership and dedication of its student members.

Rowe Scholars Steering Committee

The Rowe Scholars Program is overseen by a Steering Committee, members of which serve three year terms. The committee meets twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring semester. Sub-committees of the Rowe Scholars Program may meet more frequently to make decisions about admissions and the Rowe Lecture.

Steering Committee members include:

• Current Rowe Scholars
• A Rowe Scholar alumna/alumnus
• Director of the Honors Program
• Rowe Scholars Program coordinator(s)
• Faculty and staff members from the Storrs campus, the School of Dental Medicine, the School of Medicine, and the Health Career Opportunity Programs office at UConn Health
• Faculty from schools and colleges in which typical majors of Rowe Scholars are housed, such as the School of Nursing, the School of Pharmacy, the College of Agriculture, Health, and Natural Resources, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and the School of Engineering

Student Steering Committee Representative

The student representative to the Rowe Scholars Steering Committee is appointed by his/her peers to act as liaison between the Rowe Scholars and the Steering Committee, the program’s administrative body. He/she is there to voice student support and concern for various initiatives and protocols. In addition, the student representative also shares news and updates about the students with the rest of the Steering Committee and vice versa. This student has voting rights within the Steering Committee and is also a member of the Student Body Executive Board.

Student Steering Committee member: Bella Rendon

 

Mission of the Student Body Executive Board

To ensure that all Rowe Scholars are being offered and are taking advantage of opportunities relevant to them, a Student Body Executive Board was created. The mission of the board is to aid fellow Rowe Scholars by assisting in their academic advancement, ensuring participation in community events, and providing enrichment opportunities created to prepare them for the professional field of their choosing. The Executive Board is composed of five students.

Board Chairperson: Tanya Miller
Board Secretary: Jiana Baker
