College Advisory Board
As we look to the future, it is crucial that the College maintain a course that is consistent with the expectation of those who use our services, employ our graduates, and become colleagues and friends of our graduates. An understanding of the needs, concerns, and future directions of industry, government, and the military is of vital importance to the College: we are preparing our students to be the engineers of tomorrow, and knowledge of the needs of our constituency of today is critical to this goal. The College Advisory Board will provide the guidance and expertise necessary to achieve this mission. As leaders in their respective fields, Advisory Board members' unique perspectives and expertise will play an essential role in shaping the future of the College.
