Exec Portfolios

The Activities Officer has one of the most interesting jobs, they get to organise events and have fun hanging with students from around campus. You’ll work with a variety of people to make events possible such as Orientation held at the start of each semester and Over It which a party held to help students relax before their exams begin. If you think you would love to try this and also have the knack to talk in front of lots of people then this could be a role for you.

The Equity/Disabilities officers’ title speaks for it’s self. You are there to ensure that the CPSA and CPIT represent all students equitably.

You will also ensure all special interest groups on campus are aware that the CPSA exists as their representative and that they have the opportunity to express their views to the Executive.

The Maori officer is there to ensure Maori students are represented on campus. The Maori Officer encourages links between both the CPSA and Maori students on campus.

Your role would also involve working with the staff and President to ensure services are promoted effectively.

Your role would be to promote interests of all cultures on campus. You would also spread the word that CPSA is here to help and that International students can feel safe to come and talk to the staff.

The Satellite Campuses Officer looks after the wants and needs of students studying away from the main campus. They will try to promote the CPSA and their services on all campus to the best of their ability. They would strive to get information as soon as possible and on a regular process.

Your job is to maintain and improve the general well being of all students. This is a two part job which normally is undertaken by a woman due to the nature of representing women as well as the general student body.
