CCU Founding Committee Members

Members were made up of faculty and staff representing all departments on campus. These initial members were invited by President Lillian Schumacher to help plan events, share the Mission of CCU on campus, and to help build programming, develop curriculum, and establish additional faculty and staff training. This committee transitioned in 2018, and these members then formed the President's Advisory Council.
