Engineering College Council

The Engineering College Council was created as an advisory board to the dean in the 1940s, during the administration of Solomon Cady Hollister. It was among Cornell’s first college advisory councils. The membership of the council includes people — both alumni and non-alumni — from industry and academia. The council advises the college administration on long-range planning and development in critical and strategic areas, including instruction, research, and industry collaboration.
