Council of Excellence Leaders

A Collaborative Committee

The Council of Excellence Leaders (CEL) is a university-wide committee, sponsored by the Institutional Access, Success, & Belonging that meets quarterly. The council serves as a key collaborative partner with the Institutional Access, Success, & Belonging (ASB) and includes approximately 20 members from across university colleges/schools/departments/units. These members were recommended by the ASB team or institutional leadership.
