Dean's Student Advisory Board
The purpose of the Dean's Advisory Board is to assist the Dean of the George Washington Law School and the Dean's suite in an effort to build stronger relationships with the student body. The Advisory Board serves the law school by representing diverse views amongst the student population in monthly meetings with the Dean. The Board serves as an unelected independent body that advises the Dean on the issues and concerns of the students. The matters range from, but are not limited to, pedagogy, academic policy, racial equity, and social justice on campus. The Board bridges the gap between the Dean and students by providing a communal environment where student and administrative perspectives are shared.
