By applying, you are committing to DISC for not only the next school year but also for this upcoming spring quarter. Your exec workload will be minimal during spring 2026, but we will be asking you to attend weekly exec meetings and shadow present members in preparation for taking on their roles in the coming school year.
Any Northwestern undergraduate or graduate student who will be enrolled during the 2026-2027 academic year is eligible to apply.
Note: We will consider applications from students who will be studying abroad or on co-op during the academic year. However, all exec members must be available to attend weekly exec meetings and fulfill their role-specific responsibilities.
Although prior involvement with DISC is helpful (e.g Discover program, fall workshop series, general member event attendance), it is not required. We are looking for new and innovative ideas and more importantly, passionate individuals who align with our mission, are committed to the role(s) that they apply for and generally want to push DISC even further.

Time commitments vary by role, but all exec members must attend weekly meetings and fulfill their role-specific responsibilities. Most positions require 2-5 hours per week.
