Policy Support Committee

Supporting advocacy at policy-setting bodies through research, strategy, coordination, staff, and logistics.

The mission of the policy support committee is to educate and advocate for good governance, transparency, and top-quality education in the tradition of New College’s history to all policy-setting bodies including the Board of Trustees, Foundation, Alumni Association, Board of Governors, state and federal bodies, and accrediting agencies

Our success is measured by ensuring that the goals for, and concerns around, New College’s long-term success are articulated and considered at all levels of formal policy-setting bodies. This committee wants to support all existing efforts through research, education, strategy, and coordination, and to fill in gaps as needed. 

You can email at contact@novocollegian.org with any questions or support you need.
