The school’s Industry Advisory Council, established in 2018, provides another opportunity for BSCI alumni and supporters to become involved with the school. This is a regionally based group that has different but complementary objectives to the Industry Executive Board. These objectives focus on activities such as curriculum issues, mentoring, industry visits to Auburn and away from campus, outreach, and research.
