::Gateway Leadership

The senior leadership of the Gateway Engineering Education Coalition includes members of a Deans Council and a Governing Board. In addition, of course, there have been many active faculty and staff participants who have been the grass roots individuals that made the delivered products found on this web repository possible. The Engineering Deans at each partner institution exercise a level of leadership for Gateway, both at their institution and coalition-wide. Their guidance to the Coalition and the linking of its programs to their College agenda is a very important facet to achieving success of Coalition objectives. The deans serve in a collective capacity through the Deans Council. The Governing Board is composed of the Principal Investigator/Director and one representative appointed by the Dean of each partner Gateway institution. The Governing Board has responsibility for Coalition policy, direction, and broadly-identified resource allocation. Members participate in making and implementing the decisions of the Board and have a significant responsibility for communicating the consensus of the Board to others. They also participate in the representation of Gateway and its activity to others at their institution and provide feedback to the board. The Governing Board Member is a proactive participant and in most instances serves as the Institutional Activities Leader guiding the day-to-day Gateway program functions at that institution. In several instances the Dean has appointed an additional individual to serve as an alternate to the Governing Board and to serve as the Institutional Activities Leader. This senior leadership is identified below. In addition there are many individuals who have made significant contributions to the products of the Coalition. In those instances where Coalition programs cut across the Coalition involving multiple institutions there have been faculty leaders who assumed such cross-coalition project leadership.
