Council of Undergraduate Deans

The Council of Undergraduate Deans (CoUD) meets regularly to discuss and formulate recommendations to the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education on university-wide undergraduate academic strategy, policies, and communications; to discuss areas of collaboration and synergy among the colleges; and to exchange ideas about leadership and management best practices. The CoUD is comprised of undergraduate assistant/associate deans from each undergraduate college and other invitees of the Vice Provost, including the Vice Provost’s Leadership Team.
