STUDENT ADVISORY COUNCILS
An undergraduate and alternate fifth year graduate student advisory council will be assembled by the Dean for at least three meetings per year.  The purpose of the meetings is to dialogue about program substance and delivery quality and impact.  Members are nominated by the academic departments.

Traditional graduate students provide feedback and advice to the Graduate Council and their respective programs through participation in Alpha Epsilon Lambda.
