Advisory Boards

Governing advisory boards of School of Education programs.

  1. School of Education
  2. Advisory Boards

The School  of Education (SOE) and programs within the SOE have advisory boards that participate in decisions related to development, implementation, revisions, and general support of the SOE and/or their respective programs. 

School of Education Advisory Board

The School of Education Advisory Board consists of alumni and friends who represent the education community and advise and support the Dean regarding the School’s strategic plan. This group also communicates directly with the Dean about the needs of students, families, teachers, administrators, organizations and companies in this region, nationally, and internationally.  

Board members foster closer ties between the SU School of Education and organizations and individuals who care about the future of education. The Board offers strategic advice to the Dean with a focus on building awareness, meeting community needs, and attracting resources to the School. The School of Education Advisory Board meets three times a year to advise our Dean on planning, marketing and fundraising.

We are grateful for the contributions of our advisors:
