CAA provides feedback to the Office of Academic & Career Success and the Associate Vice Provost, Academic & Career Success.
The committee works actively to support the work of OACS by offering representative perspectives on OACS initiatives, provides a forum for sharing information about academic and career advising, and also works toward building community among advisors from different schools, colleges, and divisions.
The Council on Academic Advising is chaired by the OACS Director for Academic Affairs. Meetings generally consist of three segments: community building, feedback and action.
CAA meets once per month during the academic year for 90 minutes, and once during the summer.

CAA is a committee which invites wide representation of campus advisors and advising partners. In general (but not in all cases) members are mid-level leaders in their departments (such as an assistant or associate director).
Members are invited to join a Power Team as needed to focus more intensively on a specific campus advising project. Power Teams are facilitated by CAA members and are responsible for producing a brief report on their outcomes.
