External Advisory Board
The External Advisory Board is composed of Penn State alumni, friends of the Schreyer Honors College, parents of Scholars, and others committed to the College realizing its mission. The board convenes twice a year at meetings held on the University Park campus.
Board members demonstrate leadership and commitment to the College through their advice and counsel of the Dean and staff, mentorship of current Scholars, and personal philanthropy.
Scholar Alumni Society Board
The Scholar Alumni Society Board (SASB) is the governing body of the Scholar Alumni Society, an affiliate group of the Penn State Alumni Association. The board works directly with the Schreyer Honors College staff and student leadership to engage Scholar alumni and current Scholars in meaningful ways through social events, mentorship, service, and philanthropy.
The Board meets each fall and spring at University Park. Committees meet virtually throughout the year. Eighteen at-large members serve three-year terms and are joined by a faculty representative and a student representative. The president of the SASB sits on the Penn State Alumni Council. Applications for membership are announced each fall.
Faculty Advisory Committee
The Faculty Advisory Committee (FAC) is composed of ten to twelve faculty from across the University, representing a broad range of colleges and campuses. The committee also includes the executive director of the Schreyer Institute for Teaching Excellence, the director of the Paterno Fellows Program, and a representative from the Schreyer Student Council as ex oficio members.
The FAC meets monthly to discuss significant issues as presented by the dean, associate deans, and FAC members. Standing subcommittees review academic integrity violations and graduating student awards. FAC members serve staggered two-year terms and are appointed by the dean of the Schreyer Honors College in consultation with college associate deans.
