H&S Council

The Council of the School of Humanities and Sciences serves as a strategic advisory group for the leadership of H&S. The dean articulates the school’s goals and reports on progress at council meetings twice a year.

The council, established in 1982, provides a forum for the dean to discuss the school’s objectives with an informed group of outside supporters who contribute non-academic experiences and points of view. Members come from the business, civic, arts, philanthropic, and academic communities and bring special expertise and interest in areas of priority for the leadership of H&S. The dean relies on the council’s support for the school’s highest priorities.

The council consists of up to 25 members who serve three-year terms. Current members:
