Charge
Advisory Committees at Suffolk County Community College are crucial to the ongoing
advancement of our professional and technical programs. The advisory committees provide
an opportunity for the college to partner with local industry to ensure that that
we receive feedback on curriculum, program needs, applied learning opportunities for
our students and the job market for our graduates. The advisory committee members
represent a diverse cross-section of county and regional employers who freely provide
their expertise and guidance in order to support our students.
