Advisory Committees

One of the early undertakings by the administration at Jefferson State was the establishment of lay advisory groups composed of representatives from different professions who are aware of, and interested in, the local situation and who, together with college administrators and instructors, bend their efforts toward: (1) assisting the college in organizing its educational curricula; acquainting the college with current practices and developments within their professions; (3) acting as program advisors to generally guide training to fit the current needs of the communities and industries; (4) serving as public relations representatives in publicizing the specialized programs geared to their special field of interest; (5) seeking sources of finance in order to provide funds to initiate particular specialized programs; and (6) providing general assistance to any segment of the institution.

Only with a properly functioning advisory committee can education authorities develop educational programs based on the real needs of the community. These key people help to acquaint the schools with trends, technical advancements, and the varied requirements of business and industry for specific skills and training.

An advisory committee, sensitive to the daily needs of the local community, can provide effective interchange of information vital to both school and industry. It provides a link between the school and the community through which educational and ancillary services are coordinated.

Jefferson State gratefully acknowledges the sincere effort made by those who have served and those who are to serve on these advisory committees.
