President Lyons appointed a Core Team of ten members. The team is deliberately small so members can meet frequently and act quickly. Members of the Core Team come from a cross-section of the campus, but they are not expected to represent divisions or schools. Rather, they are to use their knowledge of the campus community to develop strategies for reaching as many constituents as possible.

Charge: To collect and consolidate strategic ideas from students, alumni, faculty, and staff.
