Math Alumni Serve on Dean's Advisory Council
In 1994, Dean Harry Morrison established the School of Science Dean's Advisory Council. The Council of 18 is comprised of representatives from industry, government, and academia who have been educated within one of the disciplines represented by the seven departments of the School of Science.
Members of the DAC travel to West Lafayette for a weekend meeting on campus each fall and spring. They meet with the SoS deans, department heads, and various members of the faculty, staff, and student body.
The Advisory Council discusses pertinent issues and offers advice on the education of Science students, current and future research in Science departments, interaction and cooperation with corporate and industrial partners, and the acquisition and disposition of the School's financial resources. In sum, they advise how the School of Science can better accomplish the multiple goals of a major state university.
