Got to love those vague requests. Our dept. doesn't have one, but a few others do here at VSU. Here are some links for you that specifically list what they do: MFT http://www.valdosta.edu/soc/mft/AdvisoryBoard.shtml

So far, the answer has been that whatever I want the board to do, it can do. I don't find that particularly helpful. So, I thought I'd ask others what their boards did. Larry ________________________________ From: Ken Steele [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tue 9/7/2010 8:21 PM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: Re: [tips] Psychology Department Advisory Boards Hi Larry: What is this advisory board supposed to do? We have a strategic planning committee; which is supposed to plan for changes in the future. We have a curriculum committee; which is supposed to plan for modifications in the current curriculum and future curricula. We have committees which evaluate progress towards tenure, choice of textbooks, space-use, psi chi, graduate student issues, and so on. All have concrete charges. But I am unclear as to the goal of an "advisory committee." Is the advice going to the chair or department or college?
