Cultural Events

Committee

The Cultural Events Committee consists of ten members, including six members of the Winthrop faculty appointed by the Provost and two students appointed by the Chair of the Council of Student Leaders. The Dean of the University College and the Cultural Events Coordinator also serve on the committee as ex officio members.

The committee is responsible for reviewing event proposals and determining whether they meet the approval criteria for Cultural Events and Global Learning Events. The committee also reviews petitions submitted by students for credit toward their Cultural Events requirement. During the summer term or in the absence of the committee, the Cultural Events Coordinator has the authority to approve petitions for events attended from the list of suggested off-campus events.

The committee meets biweekly during the fall and spring semesters, as well as once during the week of Commencement. The committee meeting dates for the 2022-2023 academic year can be found below.
