Advisory Board
As the Corridor continues to flourish and expand its reach, the Board plays an important consultative role in terms of the consortium’s administrative structure and operations. At the annual meeting, Board members receive reports on the previous year’s activities, programs, and budgets, learn about key trends and issues, and share insights around the table. Keeping in mind the Corridor’s history and its continued success and sustainability, the Board provides input to the Directors on a variety of matters, including programmatic initiatives as well as budgetary and policy issues.
Composition
Syracuse University, Cornell University, and the University of Rochester, the Corridor’s founding (and endowment) campuses, are represented by the Directors of their respective humanities centers and two additional members. Other active, engaged partner institutions may also have representation, in addition to any ex-officio and administrative member(s). Representatives are invited to serve three-year terms. Diversity, interdisciplinarity, campus role, and direct experience with successfully organizing Working Group activities are some of the criteria taken into account for Board appointment.
