Student Engagement Faculty Advisory Board
The Hal Marcus College of Science and Engineering Student Engagement Faculty Advisory Board (HMCSE SEFAB) was created to formalize and synergize student engagement resources and programs. The goal of SEFAB is to streamline resources and professional development offerings throughout the college.
SEFAB Members
SEFAB meets once per month to plan semester events, discuss best practices, and assess what worked in the past semester. In addition to the monthly meetings, SEFAB members participate in two college level student engagement events per semester. SEFAB has been responsible for events such as the Faculty and Student Panel held in January 2017 and are currently working with Career Services to plan college specific events.
