Executive Council Membership
As the primary academic policy-making body of the 海角论坛, the Executive Council (ExCo) provides broad vision and leadership.
Thus, its membership is not intended to represent specific departments or programs individually, but rather to provide a variety of perspectives. Collectively, the members of the Executive Council will bring to the body the views and experiences of students at all levels, as well as diverse faculty from departments and programs of varying sizes and academic missions. Both the membership outlined below and the dean鈥檚 appointment prerogative are meant to facilitate this goal.
For more information about the Executive Council, please read Article V of the .
