Membership and Meetings

The College Council is primarily an advisory board, making available to the college president a wide variety of individual experiences, expertise, skills and talents.

The College Council consists of ten members, nine appointed by the Governor and one elected by and from the students of the campus. One member is designated by the Governor as Chair.
