Administrative Councils
Consortium Council Structure
The successful collaboration among our member institutions depends heavily upon the vitality of Consortium-wide councils. The roles and expectations are outlined in the By-laws of the Atlanta University Center Consortium. The Executive Director of the Consortium constitutes each Consortium-wide council, serves as a liaison between the Council of Presidents and other Councils, and assists in identifying major goals and initiatives.
AUC Consortium Councils are comprised of representatives from each member institution. The councils serve to:
- Identify potential collaborative projects and resource-sharing opportunities;
- Provide networking and professional development opportunities among professionals;
- Serve as a forum to study and resolve issues of common concern and to explore and pursue emerging opportunities;
- Promote interaction and engagement among colleagues;
- Identify strategies to promote a more student-centered learning environment;
- Enhance the quality and efficiency of our organization and services;
- To identify innovative strategies for meeting strategic objectives and goals.
