Advisory Council to the President
As CCU grew in scope and depth, the President’s Advisory Council (PAC) was founded in lieu of the steering committee. The PAC provided the structure of three councils under University leadership to develop CCU-focused programming in all areas of the University.
The Council promotes and sustains the institutional commitment to inclusive excellence by creating an environment focused on student success, serving as the primary council to the President.
Mission (What you do, who you are and what is the benefit?)
Our commitment fosters inclusive excellence through celebrating cultural uniqueness in an environment that is welcoming, understanding of different perspectives, affirming and safe for all populations. The collaborative strategic alignment of the Councils for Academic Experience, Expansion of Opportunity and Talent & Engagement cultivates the opportunity to support and maintain an educational and working environment which promotes a commitment to inclusive excellence.
Vision (How the organization will look once the Mission is fulfilled.)
From initiative to commitment – Celebrating CulTUral Uniqueness.
