The University of Michigan President’s Council is an advisory group comprised of individuals from throughout the University of Michigan community who the President and U-M leadership can rely on for honest and transparent counsel. The Council advises university leadership on major matters of importance impacting U-M, gives input on future priorities for the institution, and strives to convey the thoughts and views of U-M’s many constituencies. The work of the group ultimately aims to strengthen the bonds and relationships between the many parts of the institution with U-M leadership.
