Advisory Board

Members of the Earth Sciences Advisory Board bring the perspective of industry, government, and other academic institutions to the annual evaluation of the school's programs and goals. Appointed by Stanford's president, these volunteers meet each year in April to help the school identify new opportunities and plan for the future. The next Advisory Board meeting is scheduled for April 12 & 13, 2007.
