Advisory Board

The CBE Board of Advisors consists of current or retired business executives and entrepreneurs. The members volunteer their time to assist in setting the strategic direction of the College. They also take part in the implementation of the three major strategic initiatives for the college. Globalization, Accessibility, Equity, Inclusiveness, Diversity (AEID), and Professional and Career Readiness (PCR). In addition, members of the Board regularly participate in curriculum review, to ensure our curriculum is current and innovative. Board members are invited by the Dean for three-year-renewable terms.
