Brennan Advisory Council

The Brennan Advisory Council advises the Dean of the Brennan School of Business on all matters which are pertinent to the efficient and effective operation of Dominican University's business programs. Coming from the ranks of top management in a variety of industries, council members are in a unique position to advise the school on how its programs can best meet the needs of the rapidly changing business profession. Establishing an active relationship with business professionals (including select Brennan School alumni) enables the Brennan School to create strong linkages with the corporate world and to ensure the relevance of our programs of study.
