Chancellor’s Cabinet

The chancellor’s cabinet is composed of forward-thinking leaders who bring diverse experiences and perspectives to their roles across campus.

In addition to leading their individual divisions and offices, the cabinet uses their individual talents, strengths, and expertise to work through problems, lift up new ideas, and advise the chancellor as she makes decisions that impact the campus and beyond. 

The cabinet operates using agreed-upon principles for engagement, first signed in January of 2020: Everyone Matters. Everyone Belongs.
