The Chancellor role is bestowed upon a person of distinction who has made significant contributions to the Institution and usually served as President of the Institution.
The Chancellor supports the President on a day-to-day basis in advancing the University's interests. One of the primary responsibilities is to serve as an institutional ambassador, expanding the University's reach at the local, national, and international levels and appointing educational and institutional embassies and ambassadors around the world.
Along with the University President, the Chancellor also confers all degrees, diplomas, and certificates at Commencement Ceremonies and participates in the Board of Directors meetings, Advisory Board meetings, and acts as a counselor to both boards.
