Visiting Committee Members Serve as Advocates for the Physical Sciences Division

Visiting Committees were established by the University’s Board of Trustees in 1948 to create groups for each of the academic units that would help foster relationships between the University and its alumni, between faculty and Trustees, and between the University and the city of Chicago.

They serve the University by increasing the understanding of their members about the work of the divisions, giving the University national and international visibility, and providing an informed group that can be of assistance to the divisions. Visiting Committee members bring a wealth of experience and expertise to their units, as well as help keep the divisions relevant to the world at large. Over the years, some of the links to industry that have proven to be most valuable have been facilitated by members of PSD Visiting Committees. Visiting Committee members are appointed by the University’s Board of Trustees to serve renewable three-year terms. Members are asked to attend two meetings on campus each year, in the spring and autumn. Each visit includes an update by the Dean and the PSD Visiting Committee Chairman, science presentations by faculty members, tours of laboratories, and opportunities to meet with graduate and undergraduate students who are studying science.

The Visiting Committee to the Physical Sciences is comprised of the following members:
