As a Class Representative you will have the job as the liaison between all your classmates and your professor. You will facilitate study groups with your classmates and attend Class Representative meetings throughout the term.
It is a great way to get to know your classmates and practice your leadership skills. It definitely looks great on a resume and best of all you get to network and meet great people!
