The following Councils support the work of the CCCU by providing advice to the president and board of directors. A major on-site review of at least one student program is made each year. Reports are sent to the chief academic officers at each CCCU member institution. These activities include managing professional development workshops and encouraging information sharing among the CCCU constituency about the role of technology on the Christian college campus. It also provides feedback to the CCCU on marketing issues, including promotional publications and the Internet.
Some councils are also involved with research projects relevant to their areas of responsibility.
Sabbatical Opportunities at the CCCU Headquarters Faculty and administrators are invited to explore a variety of sabbatical possibilities with the CCCU's national headquarters. Possibilities include work with faculty development, racial harmony initiatives, assessment, various special projects funded by grants, technology, research, public relations, etc. In an effort to be of more service to members, all five of the CCCU semester programs and the Oxford Summer School will offer opportunities for faculty on sabbaticals as of the 1997-1998 academic year. For many years, CCCU faculty and administrators have used sabbatical time to serve the broader work of Christian higher education through service with the CCCU headquarters office and the Latin American Studies Program. The American Studies Program is looking for sabbatical faculty to assist with the development of domestic and international policy seminars, monitor internships and lead small group discussion.
