Business Advisory Council
The mission of Notre Dame’s Advisory Councils’ program is to support the University’s providential mission to be a great Catholic university by involving alumni and friends in the life of the University. The primary roles of council members are to provide financial support to their greatest ability; to serve as ambassadors for the University and the academic area supported by the council; to share insight and offer counsel to the deans and directors; and to provide assistance on targeted initiatives, as appropriate.
Business Advisory Council members advance the mission of the Mendoza College of Business and offer counsel to the senior administration of the College.
