Our Mission and Our By-laws

The Faculty Senate is a body of fifteen representatives from each of the three colleges of Christopher Newport University. Senators serve as a liaison between all departments and standing university committees and the administration of the University. The Senate represents the faculty in the consideration of university policies that impact the academic environment and affect the welfare of our University. The Senate meets regularly with the Deans, Provost, and President to discuss issues of the University and to present the viewpoints and perspectives of the faculty to senior members of the University's leadership team.
