College of Education Board of Visitors
The purpose of the Board of Visitors is to assist the College of
Education and to advise the University administration and the Board
of Trustees in order to ensure that the college offers the highest
quality experiences for the preparation of professional educators.
Quality is assured through review by the administration and the
board of the college's planning, programs, and initiatives and
through input on the knowledge and skills needed to be successfully
prepared for professional education roles in our complex world. The
administration and the board help the college maintain its focus on
its vision and mission, within the parameters of the university's
strategic plan. They also assist in defining and implementing
standards of excellence in all of the college's activities. This
includes promoting an awareness of external environmental trends
and professional education needs in all of the college's planning,
programs and activities.

following:
- Advocate the mission, goals and objectives of the College of
Education to external constituencies

organizations in the Indianapolis community and beyond
- Assist in identifying and soliciting financial, human and other
