What are Class Reps?

• Class Reps act as liaisons between fellow
  classmates and the instructor, NATS-AID Chair
  (Asma Fatehi), as well as the Director of Natural
  Science Division. Class reps are encouraged to
  keep a pulse on the progress of the course and
  report to the Chair and the Director in a meeting
  per term each, and to the instructor.
• They also help Study Group Facilitators
  facilitate the meeting of study groups, as well
  as relay information from NATS-AID to students.
• It is a great personal development experience, as
  well as resume-booster!
