Board of Visitors
First convened in 2002, the Wayne State University Eugene Applebaum College of Pharmacy and Health Science Board of Visitors meets four times per year, once in the spring and once in the fall. Between onsite visits, conference calls are conducted several times a year. The board serves to strengthen the college's relationships with external constituencies and helps with fundraising and outreach activities.
