The Commons Advisory Team

The Commons was founded on the idea that researchers across disciplines can more broadly and newly inform developing topics, and the work of The Commons continues to be informed by perspectives across disciplines and experience. The Advisory Team represents diverse disciplinary perspectives and a range of roles within KU as well as partners beyond campus.
