From what we have been doing so far, I have taken away that a strong advisory board is more than a compliance requirement, it's a key partner in connecting classroom learning to real-world careers. I plan to apply this by engaging board members to ensure our curriculum aligns with industry needs, create work-based learning opportunities, generate community-focuses projects, and help students earn marketable certifications. I see their expertise as essential for continuous program improvement and for showing students the value and relevance of what they're learning.
