Board members serve as advocates for the College of Human Environmental Sciences (CHES) to prospective students, current students, parents, alumni, friends of the College, industry and organizations served by the College. Advocacy indicates an active involvement with the College, being knowledgeable and supportive of the programs and people, participating in various events and activities, and encouraging other alumni to reconnect to OSU and the College.
Board members have a shared responsibility for working with the Dean and College administration to strategically plan the alumni activities and events that will assist CHES in meeting annual and long-term goals. These goals will focus on student recruitment and retention, and assistance with internships and job placement, with a continuous commitment to quality and innovation in all areas.
