Administrative Council

Core Values | History of the Council | Administrative Council Charter

Lafayette College has a great tradition of employing top-notch people who are dedicated to and inspired by the mission of enhancing the experience of our students – past, present and future.  As we continue the tradition of excellence at the College, the Administrative Council is positioned to assist the College, and each other to improve.  This Council is a conduit of information to and from the administrative staff.

The Administrative Council is an elected body, with a representative from every division.  The work of the Council is published on this website so that constituents are kept up to date.  This site is also an opportunity for you to see what is new and, more importantly, participate in the discussions and actions that will keep Lafayette among the most dedicated and resourceful higher education communities in the nation.

Council Activities

The Admin council has plans to offer monthly activities to help engage and inform the Lafayette community.  These activities will vary in nature to be as inclusive to the interests of the community as possible.  If you have a suggestion for a topic, please use the Admin Council Topics of Interest Survey
