Duties of a Chancellor

The role of the Chancellor includes conferring degrees and diplomas and sitting as an ex officio member of the Board of Governors and the Senate.  In addition, the Chancellor represents the University in an official capacity at external functions from time to time.  Each Chancellor brings his or her special talents and interests to the position, and enters into and enhances the life of the University.  The term of the office is normally for three years but is renewable upon the recommendation of Senate Executive and the agreement of Senate and the incumbent.
