Advisory Board for the Sciences and Mathematics

The Advisory Board was established in Spring 2000 to assist the College of Science and Health to achieve its mission and to serve as a volunteer group of professionals who advise the Dean on various aspects of education as viewed from the external community. It consists of eminent professionals from business, industry, and alumni constituencies who generously give of their time and expertise to enhance the excellence of the educational programs at our College. The College's department chairpersons and faculty from the Departments of Biology, Chemistry/Physics, Environmental Science, and Mathematics meet with the Board. The specific purposes of the Advisory Board are to provide us with the following input:

  1. overall guidance in enhancing our programs
  2. creating a network of professional contacts
  3. preparation of our graduates for the workforce
  4. critical skills that would make our graduates more marketable
  5. current and future trends in the field of science
  6. job prospects and the job market for science graduates
  7. internship and placement opportunities for our students and graduates
  8. commentary on employed WPUNJ graduates
  9. availability of their technical employees to serve as guest faculty
  10. opportunities for faculty to collaborate with external groups on short term projects

The Advisory Board meets twice a year to discuss particular agenda items. The current membership of the Board is:
