Dean’s Student Advisory Council

The Dean’s Student Advisory Council was established to assist the Andre B. Lacy School of Business in offering a business education of the highest quality. The council is composed of Lacy School of Business students who serve as counsel to the deans for innovations and improvements in the college. Members are also ambassadors at Lacy School of Business events. Similar to the Dean’s Advisory Council, student members help define and implement standards of excellence in faculty-student partnerships, intellectual development and service.

Alessa Rodriguez is the Chair of the Dean’s Student Advisory Council. Juanita Rojas serves as co-chair of the council.
