Executive elections

Monash Postgraduate Association Executive Committee (MPAEC)

The committee term begins in May and runs for one year. The MPAEC meets monthly to discuss issues of relevance to postgraduates and to make decisions on behalf of the postgraduate community at Monash. This can involve writing policy, responding to University proposals, planning seminars and running social events.

There are a total of 15 positions on the MPAEC: six campus-tagged representative positions and nine general representative positions. The six campus-tagged positions (one each for Clayton, Caulfield, Gippsland, Berwick, Parkville and Peninsula) are open only to postgraduates enrolled on the corresponding campus. The nine general representative positions are open to all postgraduates on all campuses. Postgraduates may apply for only one position on the MPAEC. No more than two research and two coursework postgraduates from the same Faculty may hold positions within the nine general representative positions.

For more information, email the acting MPA Executive Officer, Jenny Reeder.

MPAEC Cooptions

Sometimes postgraduate members on the MPA Executive Committee complete their studies and leave Monash University part-way through their term of office on the MPAEC. Where a vacancy arises on the MPAEC between annual elections, postgraduates can be coopted to the committee. For information about the cooption process, email the MPA Executive Officer, Jenny Reeder.
