Bridging the Gap Between Industry Trends and Education in the M&S Sector
The Executive Advisory Board (EAB) consists of local M&S industry and government leaders.
Members of the EAB serve as program advocates and reviewers. They help identify new and important trends in the M&S industry and their impact on education and research. EAB members further assist in identifying student experiential learning opportunities such as internships, co-ops, mentorships, and real-world course projects.
