Associate Dean Mike Stark outlined the goals of the council and potential committees Life Sciences Leadership Council members may serve on, including:
- Planning Committee: assist the council chair in planning and organizing events and the work of the council.
- Membership Committee: manage the membership of the council including recruiting, expectations, and interfacing with Philanthropies.
- Student Experience Committee: develop and provide internships, mentoring, career advisement and networking. This committee could include specialized subcommittees.
- Alumni Outreach Committee: create and enrich relationships with Life Sciences alumni.
Jim Welsh from Philanthropies described the various ways that council members might serve: 1) time, a willingness to provide time to serve on a specific committee, 2) talents, a willingness to share your career path with Life Science students via Zoom or “Handshake” email communications, and 3) treasure, a willingness to donate to the Life Sciences College to support summer student internships, etc.
