IEE Council

Governors State University (GovState) has established a Institutional Engagement and Excellence Council (IEEC) of 20 – 25 students and employees, who act on behalf of the organization to launch and support the institutional engagement and excellence (IEE) process. The committee is a critical driver in fostering real organizational change, establishing a dedicated focus on institutional engagement and excellence priorities, and promoting IEE practices. The IEEC Chair (Chief of Institutional Engagement and Excellence) works closely with senior leaders to ensure tight alignment with the organization’s overall business strategy and to accelerate IEE goals.

The GovState IEE Council strives to create an organizational culture and climate in which all students and employees are valued, have a sense of belonging and connection with one another and the organization, and feel empowered to do their best work.

IEEC is charged with researching, developing, and proposing mechanisms to help create a supportive, positive, and inclusive work environment for all students and employees of GovState.

The purpose of Governors State University’s (GovState’s) IEE Council is to help provide support, guidance, and direction for the university’s mission and vision toward creating, implementing, and sustaining strategic IEE goals.

The IEE Council will consist of at least 20 – 25 diverse members of the GovState community, including faculty, staff, students, and the campus community. This council will be made of a single nominee from each of these leaders on campus except for the Dean of Arts and Sciences and Graduate Studies, who will have two (2) nominees each. These nominations must be confirmed by the President to be officially appointed to the Council.
