Graduate Council
The Graduate Council is composed of 12 faculty members; 2 graduate students; and the Dean of the Graduate School, who serves as the chair. Six of the faculty members are elected by the graduate faculty, and six are appointed by the dean. Members serve rotating three-year terms. The graduate student members are also appointed by the graduate dean and serve rotating two-year terms. The council advises and counsels the graduate dean in formulating administrative policies for graduate study and serves as an executive body for the graduate faculty.
The Graduate Council meets at 1 p.m. the second and fourth Wednesday of each month in the Memorial Union Room of Nations.
