Advisory Board
The program is very fortunate to garner support from various risk control/safety professionals who are willing to provide program-based advisement in the areas of student recruitment, curriculum development, student graduation as well as student placement. This advisory committee meets twice per academic year and the program director is responsible for providing information to this group as well as soliciting process improvement-based feedback from them.
