About our Advisory Board

Our Advisory Board is comprised of members of the Department, a representative from the UFS Career office as well as a group of select individuals. Our Advisory Board members provide valuable expertise, assisting our Department in terms of strategic direction as well as curriculum development.

With the input of our advisory board, we wish to:

• Align our graduates with the expectations of the modern workplace.
• Enhance curriculum relevance, and the inclusion of the necessary knowledge, skills and attributes to our graduates.
• Critically think about our strategic objectives.
• Make the connection between academic knowledge and “real work” skills.
• Expose our students to practitioners who could serve as classroom guest speakers.
• Where possible ‑ create opportunities for students to learn workplace skills by providing suitable internship locations.
• Develop ambassadors for our discipline and facilitate an ongoing exchange of information and ideas with our “publics”.
