Pillar Group Committees

The Pillar Group committees are charged with formulating strategies and priorities that will support the major priorities established by the steering committee. There are four Pillar groups that reflect the values and visions of the College:

Pillar groups are co-chaired by an associate dean and a professor from the college. Committee membership includes faculty members, students, staff, and alumni from the College of Science.
