ASUCH meets every other Wednesday evening for approx. 2 hours to vote on resolutions and resolve student concerns. Most of our work, however, is accomplished through the following committees.
ASUCH Committees & Task Forces 2004-2005
Each committee and subcommittee shall be chaired by a member of the ASUCH Executive Board or General Council. All committees and task forces shall consist of an odd number of voting members. The ASUCH President shall serve as an ex-officio member on all committees and task forces. Nonmembers or students at-large may serve in an ex-officio capacity. All committees and task forces shall be governed by parliamentary procedure as detailed in Robert’s Rules of Order.

Community Service Committee
The committee will coordinate volunteer activities and provide an efficient and effective way of presenting community service opportunities to Hastings students, known as Hastings Helps! The Hastings Helps! Program includes at least a day per semester when this committee organizes Hastings students to volunteer on a project in the community.
