Academic Affairs Faculty Senators

During the yearly Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) Faculty Senate elections, four Senators and two Alternates are elected to represent the Academic Affairs Faculty (AAF).  Senators serve a two-year term, and Alternates serve a one-year term.

Academic Affairs Faculty Purpose

AAF Senators help to coordinate faculty responses to issues raised within the Senate, and their votes reflect the opinions of the AAF as a whole.  AAF Senators and Alternates also serve on committees within the Senate, and lend their expertise in the areas of education, research, and clinical care.  The Electoral Unit Leader is responsible for gathering and sharing AAF news with the Faculty Senate.
