Executive Committee

The CGES Director works closely with an Executive Committee comprised of the Dean of the Walsh School of Foreign Service, CGES faculty, faculty representatives of departments with which CGES has joint degree programs, and a MAGES student representative.

In particular, the Advisory Council seeks to assist the Director with ideas to raise funds to support students and activities of CGES, strengthen the CGES’s ability to recruit top students, aid in the placement of students and alumni, and expand CGES’s professional network.
