Division Coordinators
This fall, we will be organizing new elections for “Division Coordinators” (DCs)! A Division Coordinator is a democratically elected union representative of RAs in a department. Our goal is to have a DC for every department at Stony Brook that has RAs, and 2 DCs for departments with more than 50 RAs. Below you will find a list of the current DCs, and below that you’ll find a job description. If you are an RA from an unrepresented department and are interested in hearing more about the position, please contact us at raunion@sbraunion.org.
