Citizens Advisory Committee

The Citizens Advisory Committee was established by the Board of Regents to advise the Chancellor on all matters bearing on the effectiveness of the service of the University of Michigan-Dearborn. The Citizens Advisory Committee is one way we creatively collaborate with distinguished members of our community so that we maintain the University's responsiveness to the needs of the region.
