Student Advisory Board

Dean Frank Buckless and Associate Dean for Academic Programs Vikas Anand formed the new Poole College Student Advisory Board in spring 2022. The board will provide input about strategic decisions that guide the Poole College of Management’s future to ensure lifelong student success.

Mission

Help administrators enhance the student experience through immersive real-world opportunities such as more practicums and internships, regular mentoring and other career-preparation initiatives.

Members

The board consists of 15 undergraduates who will give feedback on how Poole moves forward with initiatives to remain vibrant and competitive in the changing higher education landscape. Membership on the advisory board will provide students leadership opportunities that could help them as they start their careers.
