Under the direct supervision of the University President, the Office of Government
Relations staff serves as the liaison to elected and appointed officials and their staffs in the federal and state government. The Office works to coordinate government relations issues within Northwestern, and to establish the University as a resource to agency staff and elected officials. The Northwestern Government Relations staff also represents the University to pertinent membership organizations, associations, consortia, and alliances with whom Northwestern has common interests.
All University Government Relations initiatives are established annually
by the University President after consultation with the Provost, deans,
and senior staff.
