College Academic Council
The Georgetown College Academic Council is comprised of elected representatives from each class who foster a working relationship between administration, students, and faculty in order to help students manage and enhance their academic lives. The Council interacts with College faculty and administration regarding a wide variety of issues. The College Academic Council represents the students of Georgetown College, seeks their opinion on academic issues, and acts in their name. It has helped to develop stronger student-professor relations through the Majors Mentors Network, Dean-Student lunches, the annual College Honors, and the College Majors Fair.
Most recently, the College Academic Council advocated for a business minor option for students of all majors in the College. The proposal has progressed, and was voted on by the College Executive Committee, chaired by the Dean of the College, Chester Gillis. The Executive Committee passed the minor by a majority vote in April 2010.
As it is an elected student body, the Academic Council would like to serve the College fully. Please feel free to bring suggestions, questions, or comments to the attention of its members. Contact any member simply by going to the Members page and clicking on any names.
All College Academic Council meetings are open to students in the College. If you would like to sit in on a meeting, email our President for specific meeting times and dates.
