Steering Committee

The Academic Managers’ Group (AMG) Steering Committee includes academic managers representing most University departments, centers, programs, and institutes. To foster and facilitate communication between the larger membership and central administration, ex-officios from the offices of the Provost, Dean of the Faculty, Dean of the College, Human Resources, Executive Vice President, Information Technology, Research and Project Administration, and Finance & Treasury are invited to the AMG general meetings and select Steering Committee meetings.
