Contacting the University Council
You can contact the Council to share concerns, ideas, feedback or important topics. Perhaps you want to find out what the parties think of a certain theme or what’s being done about an existing problem, or perhaps you’d like to put a new topic on the agenda; you can talk to the Council about all these things. You can join the walk-in hours of the Council if you want to speak to a member face to face, but you can also email a party or contact the registrar who can pass along your question to the right person- see the contact info below. You can also email a party if you’re interested in becoming a candidate on their list.
Registry
The University Council has a registry, consisting of a chair who leads the meetings, a registrar who provides support for the UC and a minute taker who minutes all the meetings. The registrar is the first point of contact for the registry if you’d like to:
-
Contact the UC in general.
-
Ask questions about processes and procedures of the UC.
-
See a specific archived document.
Break & Cake
Every year, a delegation from the University Council visits each faculty and service for a Break & Cake session. During this informal get together, the University Council is keen to hear how things are going and what feedback or suggestions staff and students would like to pass on to the UCouncil. Members of Faculty and Employee Councils are always invited to a Break & Cake, but the University Council is also keen to speak with a broader representation of staff and students from the faculty or service.
See below for details of when and where the University Council will be visiting your faculty or department during the 2026-2027 academic year:
