The Advisory Board


 

The purpose of the Advisory Board is to act as a counselor to the Dean concerning mission, strategy, program, and initiatives. Organized into New York and Washington, DC chapters, it assists the College in generating the resources and support needed to advance continued excellence in its instructional, research, and public service activities. The Board is comprised of distinguished Rockefeller alumni and friends of the College who have demonstrated a commitment to address and engage in efforts to help solve society’s problems, the goal upon which the College was established. The objective of Rockefeller College, to prepare students to constructively confront challenges of politics, governance, policy, and administration, is exemplified in the achievements of its Advisory Board members.
