Faculty Advancement Board

The Faculty Advancement Board (FAB) of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences serves as a consultation body, advising the Dean on strategy development, promoting the Faculty and our students in the broader (e.g., health/business/legal) community, raising funds and fostering alumni engagement.

The Board is composed of a diverse set of alumni and friends of the Faculty, drawn from different regions, age groups, and domains of activity. Invitation to serve on the Advancement Board recognizes an individual’s commitment to support the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and its objectives by providing an external perspective to the Dean of Medicine and Health Sciences and the Faculty’s Advancement office. Please note that applications to join the Board are subject to approval by a nomination sub-committee.
