Main Campus Council
The Main Campus Council (MCC) is a monthly meeting of Main Campus business officers and administrators used to answer questions and disseminate information about University policies and procedures. Usually, a main speaker or University department is invited to give a short presentation on a relevant topic, which is then followed by a question and answer session, as well as announcements. Attendance is highly recommended.
These meetings are typically scheduled for the third Thursday of every month from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. in the Leavey Program Room. Any changes in the schedule are noted below.
