The University has, in addition to the Yale Corporation, several advisory boards whose members are alumni and friends of Yale. These boards provide advice and counsel to the President on a number of topics. Some of the boards have a specific focus, such as the President’s Council on International Activities, which advises the President on Yale’s international initiatives, or advises a Dean about the work of a School. Others have a broad mandate, such as the University Council, which studies and makes recommendations to the President on a range of topics concerning University life.
