Advisory Boards
Governing advisory boards of College of Education programs.
The College of Education (COE) and programs within the COE have advisory boards that participate in decisions related to development, implementation, revisions, and general support of the COE and/or their respective programs.
College of Education Advisory Board
The College of Education Advisory Board consists of alumni and friends who represent the education community and advise and support the Dean regarding the College’s strategic plan. This group also communicates directly with the Dean about the needs of students, families, teachers, administrators, organizations and companies in this region, nationally, and internationally.
Board members foster closer ties between the SU College of Education and organizations and individuals who care about the future of education. The Board offers strategic advice to the Dean with a focus on building awareness, meeting community needs, and attracting resources to the College. The College of Education Advisory Board meets three times a year to advise our Dean on planning, marketing and fundraising.
