Governance Committee

The Folwell Governance Committee (FGC) relies on the expertise of staff systemwide to thoughtfully assess requested components, make recommendations for their design and development, and actively promote the use of the theme to University units.

The FGC is made up of a Working Group and a Steering Committee.
