Forward Together

School of Management (SOM) Advisory Council

The Advisory Council consists of leaders who serve as advisors to the School of Management as a whole and who function as important links to the regional business community. Focusing on program improvements and program enhancements, they support the School of Management on a wide range of activities involving students, faculty, staff, and alumni. As ambassadors for the School of Management, they lend us their expertise, provide access to their networks, assist with the identification of internship and job opportunities, guest speak in classes or extra-curricular programs, mentor our students, and much more. The members of the Advisory Council come from a variety of industries and functional backgrounds, and several members are alumni of the School of Management.
