Finance Advisory Board

Guiding finance education and research, the Finance Advisory Board for Smeal meets biannually and collaborates through committees.

The Finance Advisory Board advises and otherwise works with the Department in a number of different ways. The Board is made up of finance professionals who have an interest in promoting finance education and research within the Smeal College of Business and advocating in their professions for the college and our students.

The Board meets twice a year with the Department Chair and other department representatives and on an ad hoc basis. The Board may also act through committees, which may include Board members only or be joint committees including both Board members and Faculty members.
