About the Lacy School of Business
The future of business education starts at the Lacy School. Here, education isn’t confined to a traditional lecture hall. Our students are immersed in the business of doing business. They develop business plans, launch new ventures, and engage with experienced executives each and every day. It’s a model our friend and benefactor Andre B. Lacy believed in. And a model that sets us apart.
The Dean’s 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 business professionals who serve as counsel to the School for proposed changes and innovations. Members help define and implement standards of excellence in faculty-student partnerships, intellectual development and service.
Erin Roth is the Chair of the Dean’s Advisory Council.
