BeAM Advisory Board
BeAM Advisory Board
The BeAM Advisory Board provides mission-based leadership and strategic guidance to BeAM, the UNC network of Makerspaces. The BeAM director leads day-to-day operations; however, partnership between the Director and Advisory Board is important to ensure that BeAM operates with the most effective impact for all campus stakeholders. The Advisory Board reflects the broad scope of BeAM’s mission to serve and support campus education, teaching, research, innovation and workforce development. Appropriate involvement of the Board is critical and expected with Board members serving in an advisory capacity as the following:
- Provide feedback and input to the Director on relevant issues.
- Serve as BeAM ambassadors and advocates to support and enhance BeAM partnerships with UNC departments and resources.
- Review outcomes and metrics to evaluate BeAM performance and effectiveness with teaching, learning, scholarship, research and innovation.
