College Council

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.

Council members appointed by the Governor serve for a term of seven years beginning on July 1 of the appointment year, or until a successor is appointed.  Student members serve for one year. Council vacancies are filled for the unexpired terms in the same manner as original appointments.
