CEPS Industrial Advisory Council 
In 1999 the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences established an industrial advisory council to strengthen ties between the college and industry. The council's 22 members include prominent people from business as well as other academic and research institutions.
"With the ways of doing business changing dramatically from year to year, the university needs to stay in touch with industry," notes council member George Meyer, executive director of the Pease Development Authority. "That connection will benefit both the university and the state."
