Students enrolled in this course serve as representatives of the Student Executive Committee (SEC). The SEC was designed to incorporate student participation in the governance of the STPEC major. Students are for example asked to propose potential guest speakers, offer feedback on curriculum, participate in hiring decisions and deliver weekly announcements to the STPEC courses in which they are enrolled. Each cohort is also encouraged to develop projects or events of their choosing and then work in partnership with the department to bring it to fruition. Past committees have for example organized STPEC zines, movie nights, surveys and trainings.

Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
