New Members Orientation
Welcome to the Faculty Council!
This page provides new and returning members of the Faculty Council with helpful information about who we are and how we function within Boston University.
The Faculty Council usually meets September through May, one Tuesday per month, from 3:30 to 5 pm. Special sessions are scheduled as needed.
If you are a representative of your school or college, you are also a member of the University Council, which meets one Tuesday afternoon per month, September through June.
Orientation for new members will be held at the beginning of each Fall Semester.
Still not clear about how the Faculty Council or University Council function within the University?
