Graduate Dean's Student Advisory Board Reconvenes
The Graduate Dean's Student Advisory Board has reconvened for the 2016-17 academic year. The council serves as a forum to enhance communication between graduate students, faculty and administration.
The board is composed of representatives from each of the university's colleges that administer graduate programs, as well as representatives from the university's trans-departmental graduate and international student organizations.
Graduate students on the board are nominated by the dean of the college in which their degree program resides. The board is led by Kim Needy, dean of the Graduate School and International Education, and Patricia Koski, associate dean of the Graduate School and International Education.
Students should contact a board representative if they would like a concern brought to the advisory board. The board members are:
