Board of Visitors
The School of Human Ecology Board of Visitors serves as an external advisory body to the Dean. Members of the Board have attained prominence in their field and are chosen because of their value in providing sound advice and counsel. Membership on the board includes graduates and welcomes members outside of alumni.
The Board is advisory in nature. It has five primary functions: 1) to provide advice and counsel to the Dean on matters for which such external advice is critical, such as long range planning, student accessibility, and physical facilities; 2) to establish an important link between the professional world and the School; 3) to give advice on programs and projects of interest to the state's economic development; 4) to form an advocacy network for the School; and 5) to advise and assist in major fund-raising efforts. The Board serves at the pleasure of the Dean. Generally, meetings are held twice yearly in the spring and fall.
Board membership is a three-year appointment; however, individuals may serve more than one term at the
discretion of the Dean. Board membership shall be limited to two consecutive terms, with a Board member
transitioning to Honorary Board of Visitors member on the date that is six (6) years from the start of
membership on the Board. At the discretion of the Dean, a Board member may be asked to serve again on
the Board of Visitors after an eighteen month (18) absence from the Board.
Past members are distinguished as Honorary Board of Visitor members and will be invited to attend one meeting a year as a non-voting participant.
Membership on the Board of Visitors is recognition of personal and professional achievement. The School acknowledges the value of advice from the Board's members and hopes for active participation in all the Board's stated goals. Appointment is considered one of the highest honors given by the School.
