Advisors

The Panel of Advisors shall serve as an advisory body to the Dean of the College of Public Health at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. The Panel provides broad information, ideas, and insights to the leadership of the College that will help achieve its mission and guide its successful growth and development as a leading school of public health in the region, the nation, and the world. The Panel shall strengthen communication between the College of Public Health and the communities it serves so that each can be more responsive and mutually reinforcing in meeting public health needs.

The Panel of Advisors meets twice a year, and meetings are hosted by the Dean. A brief agenda is developed by the Chair with input from Panel members in consultation with the Dean. The meetings are focused on receiving input and guidance from the Panel of Advisors to improve the success of the College and its impact in our communities. The agenda is often structured as questions or as a review of a program for which we are seeking advice.
