Advancement Council

The Dean's Office works closely with the members of the BCAS Dean's Advancement Council--as advocates and ambassadors--to strengthen our academic and outreach programs, raise the profile of the college in area communities, among graduates and professional organizations, and in order to nurture a supportive network of collaborative partnerships.

• The 15-20 council members meet four times a year in informal meetings designed to build relationships around a shared interest in strategizing to strengthen the BCAS.

• Council members will serve three year terms and also receive personal invitations from the Dean to attend various special events, including student presentations, scholarly lectures, and the Buchtel Awards Banquet.

• Advancement Council members are invited to share their ideas during or between meetings on how to effectively respresent the varied interests within our large college, prepare students for productive careers, collaborate with public and private sector partners, increase support for the college, strengthen and develop centers of excellence, and leverage the respective talents of council members to nurture networking opportunities between departments and external communities.

• Members are encouraged to support the college with annual gifts.
