The FYO Advisory Board meets approximately once a month during fall and spring semesters. Their primary duties are to assess applications for teaching awards, to publicize the program, to evaluate the website for content, to hear FYO grade appeals; to review the program’s current assessment instruments and make recommendations for improving them, to run focus groups, and to complete other duties as they arise.
