Business Advisory Council

The Business Advisory Council provides advice, counsel and assistance to the leadership of the College of Business. The council includes a cross-section of business leaders from the Cincinnati region and national business community, representing small, medium and large companies from the public, private and family-owned sectors. Council members are appointed to three-year terms.

Business Advisory Council meetings focus attention on the College's progress and notable achievements, new initiatives and how they relate to business, challenges facing the academic and business community, and other areas of mutual concern. Members take an active role in Council deliberations, ultimately recommending actions that contribute to the quality of our programs and strengthen the College's overall reputation. Members can also contribute by:

Educating others about the mission, objectives and accomplishments of the College
Financially supporting the College
Volunteering for specific committees
Serving as guest speakers or lecturers
Offering individual consultation on specific problems within their areas of expertise
Identifying new Council members
