A brief description of the institution’s formal participatory or shared governance bodies:
Student Government Association (SGA):
The Student Government Association is the voice of the student body on campus. Student Government hosts campus forums, meetings, and advocates for positive change on campus.
Faculty Senate:
The Faculty Senate acts as the primary deliberative and decision-making body of the College faculty. All administrative proposals that require faculty approval come before this body for discussion and formal vote. Proposals, concerns and initiatives from academic division, Dean's Council, and individual faculty are brought before this body for consideration.
Membership is comprised of all personnel under contract as faculty members, including professional library staff and faculty with administrative responsibility. Adjunct faculty, staff members, administrators, and others who may occasionally conduct courses do not hold membership in the Senate.
Staff Association:
The purpose of the Staff Association is to support and enhance the campus community through the following endeavors:
Provide an avenue for collaboration among staff members.
Provide opportunities for professional development and the fostering of staff unity.
Advocate for the needs of the Lees-McRae College staff and campus community by expressing interests and concerns to the President and President’s Cabinet.
