Appointed each fall, the Advisory Board offers insight and perspective from students, alumni, and school staff. While they do not vote on organizational decisions, they serve as valuable partners — helping the full board stay grounded in the needs and experiences of the broader arts, media, and entertainment community. The number of student and alumni representatives may fluctuate each year, according to interest.
