WHAT IS THE COSAM ADVISORY COUNCIL?
The College of Sciences and Mathematics Advisory Council is an international network of distinguished alumni and friends who promote and support Auburn University through their personal success and spirit of volunteerism. The Advisory Council is a wonderfully diverse group of people who reflect the breadth of the sciences and mathematics and are models in their community.

WHO CAN SERVE?
Graduates and friends of the College’s seven departments and pre-health program are eligible to serve as leaders of the College on the Advisory Council. They are proven intellectuals, visionaries and philanthropists who share a sound educational background and an appreciation for the fields of sciences and mathematics.

WHAT ARE THE ROLES OF ITS MEMBERS?
Advocates - Advisory Council members will become the best-informed, best linked alumni and friends of the College. They are uniquely positioned to enhance the image of the University and speak intelligently about its many programs. Innovators - Advisory Council members provide ideas and promote change for the College. As visionaries who see things that can be, they promote Auburn’s flagship status by participating actively in the strategic planning and review of the College’s research, instruction and outreach missions.
Role Models - Advisory Council members are invited to return to campus for departmental seminars, career fairs, and student and faculty panel sessions. They enjoy interaction with high school and college students, knowing that these are the leaders of tomorrow. They may host student activities, attend local events on behalf of the College, and represent Auburn University at local college fairs.
Communicators - Advisory Council members provide news and information for publications: marriages, births, promotions, deaths. By communicating with alumni in their area, they report alumni concerns and suggest alumni activities. If there is an active alumni group in their area, they may serve on an alumni board.
Philanthropists - Advisory Council members work as volunteers, generously donating their time and talents to support the College. They may join in the identification, cultivation, solicitation and recognition of donors and are often donors themselves.
