City commissioners approved the creation of a student liaison intern position at its meeting on Tuesday night. The position was created in partnership with Student Senate and Haskell Indian Nations University.
The liaison intern will work on projects for the city and represent the needs of students at both universities, according to a statement from Student
Senate. The internship is a paid position and will require 15-20 hours a week. It begins in January.
Student Senate Government Relations Director Stephonn Alcorn said the position will help solidify relationships with the City of Lawrence and Haskell. Alcorn said the position also gives students a voice in the local government.
"It's important because students in Lawrence and students at KU live in Lawrence — we don't exist in a bubble."
said in the statement.
Alcorn said, "We are part of the community"
Alcorn said that improving relationships with the City of Lawrence was an Advance KU initiative proposed in last spring's Student Senate election, and he and the Student Legislative Advisory Board have worked on it this year.
No one has been selected for the position yet. All students can apply but must meet criteria, like being a degree-seeking student. Criteria has not been finalized yet. More information about the applications, deadlines and position will be released soon.
"Accomplishing one of our platforms and priority among a myriad of issues shows what an efficient team we have in achieving results." Student Body President Jessie Pringle
