Institutional Committees

Much of the work of the college is conducted through institutional committees. Every spring, the faculty are asked to indicate their preferences for committee appointments for the next academic year. Administrative staff members and administrative assistants support each committee as appropriate. The majority of the committees are chaired by faculty members who are elected by committee members in the first meeting of the fall semester. Minutes are documented by the committees and posted in Blackboard.
