Faculty Leadership & Success Council

The Office of the Provost created the Faculty Leadership & Success Council to bring the University’s colleges and schools together to strengthen faculty leadership, communication and success across campus. Council members work with leaders and faculty members in their individual units to identify key information and strategies and resources and support across campus. The Council’s work addresses the full range of faculty responsibilities and experiences, including research, teaching, service, leadership, engagement, outreach and well-being. Members also help their schools and colleges develop programs, initiatives and other forms of faculty support.

The council meets on the first Wednesday of each month during the academic year. Each dean appoints one representative to the council.
