Advisory Board

The Board assists the Chair and Faculty of the SLP program in attaining its goals and strategic plan. The Board guides the Department in developing a signature graduate program that provides international leadership in research, excellence in education and clinical training, and service that advances the field and improves the lives of individuals with communication disorders. The purpose of the Board is to foster excellence in the development of the SLP Department. The Board will accomplish this by providing input on academic, clinical, and research issues. The Board is advisory to the Chair and Faculty of the SLP department. The Board has no legislative, administrative, or programmatic authority and is advisory only.

The Advisory Board has the following primary functions:

  • Provide advice and counsel to the Chair and Faculty on matters for which external advice is needed and/or recommended. This may include strategic planning, physical facilities, and potential service to the community.
