What is Instructional Council?

Instructional Council contributes to the quality of education at Columbia Gorge Community College as the deliberative group on instructional matters, making recommendations to the Vice President of Instructional Services on the planning, delivery, and assessment of instructional programs services. Instructional Council meets once a month, generally on the 4th Friday. The meeting locations are on a rotation between The Dalles Campus, Hood River Center, and virtually. If you have any questions or would like to present to Instructional Council please contact Jarett Gilbert, Vice President of Instructional Services, or Sara Wade, Instructional Services Administrative Assistant.
