The board undertakes activities designed to:

• Strengthen, through their expertise and advice, the educational and research programs of the school
• Contribute to both the intellectual and personal growth of our students by offering educational opportunities outside the classroom setting
• Assist the Head of School in identifying strategies to increase the impact of School programs and to ensure they are critical to meeting workforce needs
• Advocate for the School within the college, the broader university and the community
