The University of Michigan is a constitutional corporation under the State Constitution and I am an corporate officer. I work for the president but am also responsible to the Board of Regents. I provide strategic advice to the regents, the president and the other executive officers; plan board agenda and meetings; and coordinate regent engagement with the campus among other things. I chair the Residency Appeals Committee, serve ex officio on the Advisory Board of Intercollegiate Athletics, and serve on the Honorary Degree Committee, among other things. I taught Environmental Law through the School of Environment and Sustainability for seventeen years.
