GWISE Advisory Board

At its outset, GWISE created an advisory board of key administrators, professors, and professions within and beyond BU to help develop its strategic vision. As GWISE grows over the years, we hope to utilize Advisory Board meetings to reflect more broadly on GWISE and its place within the community. We meet with the Advisory Board once each year to reflect more broadly on GWISE’s effectiveness and its place within the community. We draw upon the Advisory Board’s experience and insight to improve our organization. The goal of our this annual meeting is to update them on our progress and to solicit feedback to enable us to better serve the community and fulfill our mission.
