Council for Global Engagement and Leadership

A Council for Global Engagement and Leadership has been created to serve in an advisory capacity to the President and Provost in order to provide strategic directions for the shaping and delivering of the university’s goals. Not only will its members offer world perspective, but will also propose themes and locations for programs, help evaluate proposals, and serve as ambassadors for Taylor University initiatives in their regions of the world.

The first meeting of the council was held at Taylor University in the fall of 2006 and called together the distinguished members from all over the world. The next meeting of the Global Council will be held at Taylor University on October 2-4, 2008.
