President's Advisory Council

Advising the President with Strategic Counsel and Expertise

The President's Advisory Council (PAC) at DeSales University serves as a strategic body that provides guidance and counsel to the president on key institutional priorities.

Composed of trusted alumni, donors, and community leaders, PAC helps align the University's mission with broader societal and Salesian values. It fosters engagement, advocacy, and philanthropic support to advance the University's long-term goals.

Through regular dialogue, the PAC strengthens the president's ability to lead with vision and accountability.
