Advisory Committees
Southern State seeks to fill specific post-secondary educational needs for the residents of southern Ohio. The College cannot meet this commitment without guidance and constructive input from members of the community. To foster this vital involvement, the College has established advisory committees. Persons involved in business, public service, and industry volunteer their service and expertise for the purpose of guiding and updating educational programs offered by the College. The advisory committees help to ensure that general and technical education is of finest quality and is always attuned to community needs. These committee members are asked to advise faculty and College leaders with issues relating to the following:
- Program Development and Improvement
- Job Requirements
- Employer Needs
- Student Support
- Equipment and Facilities
- Skills Required in the Workforce
- Career Information
- Internships or Cooperative Job Opportunities
