Dean’s Strategic Advisory Board
About the Advisory Board
We established the dean’s strategic advisory board to uphold the School of Business's academic excellence, quality, and prestige. Each board member brings to the table years of valuable professional experience in both academia and the corporate world, allowing them to contribute with vital insights and counseling on the school’s strategic objectives and the developments of new initiatives. The board member’s contributions to the school extend beyond an advisory role, ranging from active engagement in the classroom to providing instructive guidance on curriculum development, thus maximizing the utility of their esteemed expertise and knowledge.
