Student Advisory Board

Each year, Beth McCuskey, the vice provost for Student Life, invites select students to be members of the Student Advisory Board. This group allows current and emerging student leaders from our many areas across the division to engage in conversation with senior leadership. Discussion and dialogue focus on departmental updates and student engagement topics, providing time to listen to student concerns and issues, allowing for feedback, and prompting exploration and fostering of new ideas about improving the Purdue student experience.
