Governance
Governance involves how policies, practices or procedures are established to guide the operation of the college. Participatory governance is a collaborative goal-setting and problem-solving process built on trust and communication that involves representatives from appropriate constituent groups who engage in open discussion and timely decision-making.
The Institutional Governance Online Repository (IGOR) provides timely access to meeting agendas, notes, rosters, templates and other governance documents. Please visit the IGOR website for the latest governance information and documents.
