Dean’s Advisory Council

The mission of the Dean’s Advisory Council is to advise the dean on strategic initiatives that keep the school’s teaching, research and community partnerships at the forefront of ecological science. Board members will also leverage their networks to create meaningful relationships with industry partners, enhance philanthropic support, and collaborate with a diverse community of environmental leaders and faculty to address today’s most pressing environmental challenges.
