The Campus Experience and Culture Advisory Council advises the Executive Leadership of the University (President, Provost, Executive Vice President for Health Affairs, and the Executive Vice President), and is guided by four subcommittees of experts to support and inform the coordination of centralized efforts to improve the culture of the Duke community and the experience of everyone in it based on results of periodic Campus Culture surveys.
The Advisory Council comprises faculty, staff and students whose responsibilities, interests and expertise are aligned with the pillars of Duke’s Strategic Vision.
The Advisory Council and subcommittees meet regularly to develop responsive strategies guided by survey data.
