University Senate Centennial

1912-2012

The 2012-13 academic year marked a century of shared governance at the University.

In a series of University Senate meetings, Professor Marti Hope Gonzales moderated members of the university community in discussions that address fiscal, technological, and academic challenges and opportunities.

Where have we been? Where are we now? What are the myriad challenges the University community will face in the future? How can shared governance shape thoughtful and efficient decisions as we move into the next hundred years?
