Community Relations Taskforce

The Office of Government and Community Relations convened a University-wide Community Relations Task Force that has been chaired by Cynthia Livingston and meeting bi-monthly since 1999. The goal of the Task Force is to coordinate and collaborate on community endeavors across the schools, and to develop new, interdisciplinary initiatives. What began as a small committee of seven, has grown to include the following list of members and their alternates:
