Life Science Leadership Council (LSLC)
Life Science Leadership Foundational Charter
The Life Sciences Leadership Council is a strategic initiative that supports the College of Life Sciences in its primary mission to "Inspire learning and discovery in the life sciences for the benefit of the world". It connects students, alumni, and industry professionals to prepare the next generation of life science leaders.
Goals of the LSLC
- Grow a network of life sciences professionals and friends of the college where friendships, collaborations, and opportunities benefit students in their educational and career paths.
- Provide industry/career-specific insights to college leadership that may assist with providing transformative experiential learning opportunities for students.
- Interact with students to understand their BYU experience, mentor them in potential career paths, and build connections for post-graduation support
- Serve as ambassadors in promoting the College of Life Sciences’ Vision, Mission, and Values and support the dean’s fundraising priorities to benefit students.
The LSLC leadership team includes an executive chair, committee chairs, a council coordinator, a philanthropies liaison, and other officers as needed. The team reports to the dean and associate deans. Members meet during the year for scheduled summits, committee meetings, networking, and student events. Consistent and active participation is expected, particularly in ways that directly benefit students in the efforts of creating an environment where education meets real-world experience.
Members should have the time and financial capacity to attend meetings (in person or remotely) and actively participate in the Council’s work. All members are encouraged to make annual contributions to the college fund, supporting student engagement in inspiring learning opportunities.
