UW-Madison Chancellor Biddy Martin met with the Chancellor's Panel of Student Leaders for the first time Oct. 20 to hear the concerns of 20 students.
According to a statement, the panel consists of leaders from student organizations, student government and other individual leaders selected by university officials. Positions were offered through the ASM Shared Governance Committee, the Wisconsin Union, UW-Madison Housing and the College Dean's Office.
The group allows university leaders to communicate with students directly to discover what concerns they see on campus. Input from the students will be considered in university government decisions.
Panel members also have the ability to suggest initiatives or other ideas to Martin.
Provost Paul DeLuca and other university vice chancellors will help with the committee, and Dean of Students Lori Berquam will fill in for Martin if she is absent.
