College Section Steering Committee

Responsibilities & Activities

The College Section Steering Committee is responsible for the governance of NCTE’s College Section and guides the affairs of the Section.  All Steering Committee members serve four-year terms.  The Chair of the College Section Steering Committee is automatically a voting member of the NCTE Executive Committee.

Time Commitment: At the NCTE Annual Convention, members typically attend a steering committee meeting on Thursday afternoon, the College Celebration on Friday evening (which the College Section hosts), and the CCCC/College Luncheon on Saturday. The Chair may also elect to hold a steering committee meeting at the CCCC Convention in the spring. No other face-to-face meetings are regularly scheduled, but special purpose or project meetings are possible. Occasional work via e-mail, listserver, or telephone conference call will be required through the course of the year, but ordinarily this will not exceed two hours a month. More extensive online working time will be required during the convention program review period in mid to late January.
