Undergraduate Advisory Board
About the Undergraduate Advisory Board:
The Undergraduate Advisory Board (UAB), headed by Vice Provost and Dean of Undergraduate Education, is comprised of student representatives from every undergraduate college and meets monthly during the academic year. Its purpose is to keep administrators apprised of students’ perspectives about undergraduate education—everything from transportation challenges and on-campus food quality to financial aid, curriculum, student support, course access, and much more.
