selection of members for the University
Council and the Alumni Council.
The University Council is the principal governing body with
responsibilities including appointing the Vice-Chancellor and
President, approving the strategic direction of the University as well as
the annual budget and business plan, and monitoring academic activities.
The Alumni Council is an advisory group that fosters networks

Both of these Councils comprise graduates elected by their
fellow alumni. The process for nominating and voting in elections
is now done electronically only. To participate, please update your
