Vice President’s Advisory
Council
Established in 1997 as an outgrowth of Project Reinvent, the
Vice President’s Advisory Council provides advice and
direction for programs that cut across all areas within the
College. The Council serves as a well informed, appropriately
connected group of external and internal stakeholders who
come to the table as respected leaders to listen and then
offer the best advice they can for setting future College
direction. The majority of members represent a cross-section
of external stakeholder groups served by the College and its
various programs. College faculty and staff representatives
also serve, as well as the current president of the Agricultural
and Natural Resources Council, the student council for the
College.
It is not the responsibility of the advisory council to make
decisions; rather the Council gives compelling advice. The
Vice President and College administration must then make choices
and be accountable for those choices.
