College Council

College Council is a Shared Governance Structure to ensure that college constituents have a voice and influence. The purpose of the College Council is to (1) monitor the college’s strategic plan implementation; (2) serve as a forum for deliberation on issues of college-wide interest; (3) enhance interdivisional communication; and (4) create a systemic process for reviewing and updating administrative procedures and board policies. College Council is a non-voting body that provides input and guidance to President’s Council.

The College Council includes representatives from eight sub-councils.
