Chancellor's Transition Advisory Team
The Transition Advisory Council is a smaller group of UNO, UNMC, and community members who were also nominated to be a part of the transition process. They meet often both as a council and directly with Chancellor Gold, as well as briefing the Transition Team as needed.
