Updated on July 1, 2022<\/p>\n

University Council<\/strong><\/p>\n

In an effort to establish a forum for on-going dynamic dialogue, I am in the process of forming a University Council which will function as a vibrant medium for collaborative, purposeful, and transparent discussion and input on University matters. It is important that the members of this Council reflect the varied groups within our campus community. See the proposed composition of this group below.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

The University Council is a 23 constituent advisory body designed to develop, nurture and facilitate collaborative, innovative, inclusive and transparent input and dialogue on University-wide matters. The guiding focus of this group is WesternU\u2019s mission, vision, and its commitment to the academic success of WesternU students.<\/p>\n
