Advisory Councils
The Center for Asian Studies is proud to have two advisory councils: the Faculty Advisory Council and International Advisory Council. The council members are either renown scholars in Asian studies or successful business leaders. They provide input and perspective on the center’s programs and strategies; serve on a committee or task force and help the center become a valuable academic resource for the UT Dallas, regional and international communities.
