Provost Advisory Council

The Provost Advisory Council serves as a consultative body that provides input and recommendations to the Provost on academic policies, institutional priorities, and university wide concerns. Composed of faculty, representatives from each college, undergraduate and graduate students, and staff from across the university, the Council meets monthly to strengthen shared governance by ensuring diverse campus perspectives inform decision making in Academic and Student Affairs. The Council promotes transparency, fosters collaboration, and supports alignment with the university’s mission while addressing the overall health of the community.
