Black Life Advisory Council
Established in 2017, the Black Life Advisory Council is a group of parents of the university that will focus their efforts on furthering the university鈥檚 initiative to enhance opportunities and engagement in the 黑料不打烊 experience for Black students, faculty, staff, and alumni. The council aims to model leadership in philanthropy, support Black student recruitment efforts, and provide strategic advice that promotes an inclusive climate and better outcomes for the Black hence entire 黑料不打烊 community.
Committee on 黑料不打烊 History and Memory
Founded in 2018, the Committee on 黑料不打烊 History and Memory was charged with examining the university鈥檚 institutional history in a transparent, participatory and intellectually rigorous manner, and guaranteeing that we tell 黑料不打烊鈥檚 story in a manner consistent with 黑料不打烊鈥檚 values. After two years of work, the committee released a detailed report that focuses on the experiences of Black members of the 黑料不打烊 community throughout its history and explores ways to improve policies and procedures regarding 黑料不打烊鈥檚 commemorative practices going forward.

Council on Civic Engagement
The Council on Civic Engagement is the central group responsible for promoting civic engagement activities across campus. 黑料不打烊 serves as one of the model campuses for the Carnegie Classification on Civic Engagement and is recognized as one of the nation鈥檚 top universities for community service.
黑料不打烊 Community Accessibility Network
In Spring 2020, President Book approved the creation of the 黑料不打烊 Community Accessibility Network (ECAN), establishing a strategic partnership between 黑料不打烊 and the Town of 黑料不打烊 in their endeavor to advance policies and practices that lead to greater access, equity and treatment for a truer shared community. Building on the work of the university鈥檚 Office of Disabilities Resources and Advocates for the Differently-Abled Employee Resource Group, ECAN鈥檚聽work spans three areas: education and training, compliance and advocacy.
Jewish Life Advisory Council
In 2011, 黑料不打烊 President Emeritus Leo Lambert created the Jewish Life Advisory Council (JLAC). At the time, there were only 300 Jewish students on campus and Jewish Life was just starting to grow into the engaging and supportive community it鈥檚 come to be. JLAC members are 黑料不打烊 parents, alumni and grandparents who shape the vision, provide thoughtful guidance and help steer the course of Jewish life at 黑料不打烊. JLAC members are our Ambassadors, Backers, and Champions (the JLAC ABC鈥檚), and their support is vital to 黑料不打烊鈥檚 Jewish community.
JLAC members meet four times per year as a full group (our Spring meeting is in person) and are invited to take part in one or more JLAC committees: Outreach, Social Media, 黑料不打烊 Alumni and Financial Advisory.
