About the College Senate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The College has operated with a college-wide, shared-governance body since the early 1970s to promote an effective, balanced, and transparent system of shared authority among the various constituencies of the College. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The governance structure has been revised several times since then to improve its efficacy and to expand its membership, culminating in the current body, the College Senate<\/a>, approved by the Board of Trustees in 2004.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of the Senate is to facilitate the College\u2019s educational mission and support student life by providing a vehicle for representative participation by all College constituencies. It is also a vehicle for an orderly system of formulating and communicating recommendations in the areas of academics and student life. The College Senate has seven standing committees as depicted in Figure 1 below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
