Chancellor’s Advisory Council on Jewish and Campus Life

The Chancellor’s Advisory Council on Jewish and Campus Life is charged by the chancellor to help to identify opportunities to improve and sustain the campus environment and to provide guidance on how we as a university can advance our commitment to an inclusive community where all feel welcome.

Members of the Advisory Council serve for terms of two years and is composed of undergraduate and graduate students, staff, faculty and alumni, as well as representatives from the Jewish community.
