"As we transition to another phase in our economy, the College must be more vigilant in listening to the needs of the community," Nadolny explained. "The President's Advisory Council allows us to both listen and respond to a diverse group of leaders in our community."
Providing insight to the President and his leadership team, members advocated for the College, highlighting its education, teaching, and public-service roles.
The PAC will meet twice a year, once in the fall and in the spring, to review progress and discuss future goals. Dr. Nadolny will relay relevant information to each board member via email or mail throughout the year.
WSC may consider additional members for the PAC. Please reach out to Megan Theis, Executive Assistant to the President, if you have any questions, concerns, or recommendations for additional members.
