The Dean’s Circle
College of Science and Mathematics
The College of Science and Mathematics Dean’s Circle seeks applications from enthusiastic
students who share Dean Yi Li’s commitment to growing STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering, Mathematics), enhancing student success, advancing our ambitious research
agenda, and sharing our many successes with the Wright State communities. Appointed students
will serve a two-year term beginning Fall semester 2015.
Members of the Dean’s Circle will discuss important topics and issues with Dean Yi Li,
Assistant Dean Jacqueline Neal, and the CoSM Student Government Senator. The council is
made up of undergraduate and graduate students and meets formally every other week, with
additional meetings as needed.
Students appointed to the 2015-2016 CoSM Dean’s Circle will:
 Serve as liaisons between their classmates and the Dean’s Office, bringing matters of
importance before the group
 Promote awareness of CoSM programs and opportunities to both current and prospective
students
 Represent the CoSM at campus events, such as Raider Open House, Raiderthon,
STEMulations, and other campus events and initiatives
 Interact with CoSM faculty, staff, and administrators to help identify and address any
challenges that may arise throughout the year
 Serve a two-year term (Seniors appointed will serve only one year)
Interested students should submit the attached application to the CoSM Student Services
