The Advisory Committee comprises nine members:

The committee meets a minimum of four times per year (once per quarter, including summer) to perform the functions listed above. From time to time, the committee will invite additional participants to assist in specific duties. Major policy issues that affect the entire program will be discussed with all participating faculty either at the annual retreat, or at a specially convened meeting.

The Program Director and Co-Director have primary administrative responsibility and handle daily administrative matters.
