Doyle Arnold, chair of the Social Science Advisory Board shared, “the alumni leaders that serve on the advisory board issued a Statement of Support, which expresses a deep commitment to strengthening excellence and affordability in all academic opportunities available for the currently enrolled students of the School of Social Sciences.
