The Board of Advisors work with the dean and faculty of the business school. Their advice is sought on key strategic issues, and they are an important resource to the dean. It is the mission of the board to work with the dean and faculty to ensure that the business school meets the highest standards attainable for a graduate school of business. Board members serve renewable three-year terms.
