Over the years, this “tri-alogue” has allowed for idea interchange among the three groups promoting discussion
of new curricula and teaching techniques, as well as the business interview,
hiring, and job expectations of both students and industry.
The
Council meets twice each academic year with faculty and, for many years,
has hosted Student Career Panels, which provide a forum for answering student
questions, offering candid advice, and beginning networking contacts.
Providing
guidance and expertise, the Council benefits both our students and our faculty.
