#Preamble:
Many undergraduate students are involved in extracurricular activities relevant to their engineering or computer science education, such as attending conferences and participating in competitions. They would like support of the Faculty when approaching professors seeking accommodation for absences. There is concern that some faculty members may not be aware that such activites are encouraged.
#Motion:
Resolved that Faculty Council encourages the involvement of students in extracurricular activities relevant to their education and professional development. Faculty Council therefore encourages faculty members to accommodate students who request the following in order to attend such activities:
- Absences from class.
