Advisory Board Members
Advisory board members lend their experience and expertise to the Sustainability Council and serve as conduits to the latest corporate developments in sustainable business practices. The board assists in guiding Smeal's sustainability agenda by helping to match the college's strengths with the sustainability issues that the board members encounter as they lead their corporations’ sustainability efforts.
Additionally, the advisory board will benchmark Smeal's sustainability efforts with those of other business schools, identify essential sustainability research areas, explore collaborations with other University sustainability initiatives, and evaluate the college's graduate and undergraduate sustainability curricula.
