Committees and Councils

The Foundation's standing committees: Executive, Audit, Donor Relations and Stewardship, Investment/Finance, Student Foundation, and Trustee Recruitment and Engagement - meet throughout the year to review Foundation business and recommend action. Two Chancellor's Advisory Councils: the Innovation and Entrepreneurship and Real Estate Advisory Councils are also staffed by the Foundation.
