Dean’s Advisory Council
The leaders in business, industry, government, research and engineering education communities are perfectly poised to assist Dean Lynnette Zelezny as the Engineering Dean’s Advisory Council (DAC).
The expertise and leadership charting the future course of the College of Engineering consist of 17 members, led by current Chair Tim Seidel — each member represents the college to university leadership, California State University and the State of California when there is a need for advocacy and lobbying. Members also interact with student groups and provide leadership on diversity programs and opportunities.
