Advisory Board:

The Advisory Board informs, advises, and supports The Park School’s goal of maintaining and further building on its reputation as a best-in-class undergraduate communications school among its peer institutions.  The board assists the school in delivering on its promise of excellence in curricular innovation, faculty quality and always-improving professional and academic programs. We judge our improved performance through feedback from our students, parents, faculty and alumni; by the level and quality of the school’s enrollments; and by the degree to which we are successful in preparing students to meet their career objectives, as measured by their assessment of (1) the quality of that preparation and (2) their own evaluation of their personal success following graduation.
