VSB Advisory Councils

The Villanova School of Business engages nearly 200 alumni, parents, and friends to participate in the school's advisory councils. Members of these councils assist the school with providing professional expertise and advice, feedback on undergraduate and graduate curricula, assistance with student recruitment and internships, and financial support to VSB.

If you would like more information about VSB's advisory councils, please contact Madonna Marion-Landais, Associate Dean for External Relations at madonna.marion-landais@villanova.edu.
