Faculty Members on College Council

2026-27

The College Council, the College’s governance body, comprises 50 members: 30 are members of the faculty; 6 are senior administrators; 10 are students; and 4 are higher education officers. 

Each April, the Faculty Senate elects full-time and adjunct faculty to serve as at-large representatives on the following year’s Senate. And then every year in May, each of the academic departments elects a full-time faculty member of its department to represent it on both the College Council and the Faculty Senate. Currently there are 21 academic departments. The remaining faculty seats (currently 9) are filled by the Faculty Senate, which elects 9 of its at-large members. In addition, the Faculty Senate may elect up to 8 alternate faculty members to serve on the College Council. 

The following are the Faculty Senate’s 2026-27 representatives and alternate representatives to the College Council as well as the representatives of the 21 academic departments:
