Corporate Advisory Boards

The College of Business engages more than 200 volunteer senior executives to participate on advisory boards. These relationships play a crucial role in the College.

Advisory Board members provide expertise, advice, and guidance on academic programming either to the College as a whole or to individual departments, institutes, and centers. This helps ensure our curricula remain relevant and rigorous. Advisory Board members also interact with business students as mentors and as guest speakers in classes, and provide internship and job opportunities to our students.

To join an Advisory Board, contact Melissa Shelton, Senior Director of Principal Gifts, at mshelton@uakron.edu, for further information.
