Academic Council

In order to strengthen the bonds between EDSF and the academic community, EDSF has appointed an Academic Council to act as an advisory group with whom EDSF explores ideas and from whom EDSF gains advice on educational programs. This council also provides valuable feedback on EDSF programs when testing concepts prior to implementation. Council members represent a variety of geographic areas, as well as levels and types of academic programs. Student representation is also included on the Council.
