Involvement

Centurion members will have an opportunity to become fully immersed in higher education issues important to the Chancellor and UT System institutions. Involvement with these issues will occur through communication with the Chancellor, other System officers and Chancellor's Council Executive Committee (CCEC) members, and via participation in scheduled events.

Meetings

The Chancellor’s Centurions will meet two times a year, in the fall and spring, and may have regional meetings throughout the year.
