Undergraduate Departmental Representatives Program

Apply to Be a UDR

The application process for UDRs that are not Lead UDRs is now managed by the departments and programs. Please reach out to the relevant Undergraduate Advising Head (UAH) for your area.

All undergraduate departmental representatives have the following responsibilities, in addition to other duties mutually decided upon with their department or program chair:

  • Serve as a friendly, helpful resource and representative for fellow majors and minors and potential majors and minors. Let majors/minors know you are available to answer advising questions.
  • Elicit feedback from students about concerns and ideas and provide that feedback to the department/program chair, undergraduate advising head, and faculty.
  • Attend a portion of one department or program meeting to discuss undergraduate issues, if desired by your department/program chair.
  • Work in collaboration to execute at least two programs or initiatives each semester. These initiatives can include providing peer advising/mentoring, organizing an alumni career panel, an internship panel, participating in a faculty search for your majors, etc.
  • Contribute to the sense of community between students and faculty in your department/program.
  • Participate in ongoing assessments of UDR activities.
