Board of Visitors
The Smeal College Board of Visitors was formed in 1989 with 10 founding members. Now the board features nearly 40 members, covering an array of businesses and industries. The board meets once every semester to provide recommendations on new initiatives and offer feedback on matters related to the college. In addition to acting as ambassadors of Smeal, members engage with the college community through mentorship, philanthropy, and recruitment.
