Board of Advisors members might choose to be engaged with students and faculty in some of the following ways:

• In coordination with appropriate faculty, help to arrange internships, "shadowing" opportunities, and other experiential learning components.
• As a resource for students in preparing for admission to professional and graduate schools.
• Participate in formal meetings on campus to learn about our programs, to interact directly with students and faculty and other Board of Advisors' members.
• As a general resource and "sounding board" for the Dean of the School of Natural Science and Mathematics regarding all aspects of the marketing, recruitment and success of our programs.

Ordinarily, members serve terms from one to three years in length, beginning in August of each academic year, as appropriate to their particular needs and availability. The Board of Advisors meets formally once per academic semester, with meetings beginning in the afternoon and concluding that same evening. Informal contact and communications take place as needed throughout the academic year.The Board of Advisors offers insights and guidance of significant benefit to our students, faculty, and, of course, to the Dean. Their interactions with some very talented students and faculty can only serve to open up new opportunities and collaborative possibilities that Board members find as rewarding as we do.
