Academy Council

The SCUP Academy Council governs the work of SCUP’s four planning academies. The four planning academies focus on topics critical to the success of planning professionals in higher education: institutional direction, academics, campus planning, and resource and budgeting. Serving as advisors to SCUP’s staff, the Academy Council and academies have oversight of the annual conference proposal review process, and help bring integrated planning expertise front and center in our community.

The Academy Council supports SCUP’s strategic plan initiatives adopted by the SCUP Board. The council’s supports the following initiatives:
