Board of Visitors

The Board of Visitors for the Bolte School of Business is comprised of business leaders and academic leaders from other colleges and universities. Its purpose is to provide advice and guidance to the dean on all aspects of the Richard J. Bolte, Sr. School of Business.

The committee formally meets each semester in what has become a very comprehensive program of evaluation and guidance of the Bolte School. Committee members frequently visit campus to speak to students or various classes, and have assisted many students in their career search.
