The Advisory Council consists of industry professionals who participate actively and enthusiastically in the academic programs of the Business & Information Technology programs making contributions of time, intellect and other resources to the college.

Three Major Roles of Advisory Councils

• Assure academic quality and program currency.
• Recruit students for the program and place students in jobs or transfer institutions when they graduate.
• Advocate for state support and secure resources from private sources and individuals.
