Volunteer Leadership: A Broad Perspective

Engineering Advisory Council  | View »

Made up of leaders from academia and industry, the council consults directly with the dean, providing a valued outside perspective on the school's programs and plans.

Members are nominated by the departments and formally invited to become members by the president of the university. Members come from a mix of academic, research, and executive backgrounds, and all have significant technical expertise within their fields.

The members meet annually to offer a detailed, critical review of Stanford Engineering's current programs and future directions. Besides producing a formal report to the provost, the council serves as a bridge to the engineering community, communicating the school's goals and programs, as well as faculty and student achievements.
