I have had the privilege of working with some of the most engaged students on campus - the CoLA Dean's Student Advisory Board. These impressive students had a VERY productive fall semester and have been great ambassadors for CoLA representing the college at important events, providing insight into the student perspective through tabling surveys, hosting Open Mic Nights on Wednesdays at W.O. Wrights to raise scholarship funds, and organizing the meeting of all of the Deans' Student Advisory Boards called Summit of the Boards. We will be highlighting our DSAB students in upcoming CoLA Weekly emails, so stay tuned!
