In the past, I utilized the advisory board to assist with creating a mission, vision, review the strategic plan etc... However, I have never engaged an advisory board to assist with student persistence/ retention stragegies. I will inquire about their experience in this area as a proactive approach to maintaining student retention.
I learned about the need to engage with advisory board members on a variety of operational issues related to managing our university. This includes curriculum content design, career placement opportunities, and promotion of our programs to the local business community.
The importance of having the right, visonary members on your Advisory and Governing Boards in order to ensure the school's relevance and adapting to future challenges.
