The “Honorary Advisory Board” is chosen by the University Council. The members being personalities from industry and academia strengthen the competencies of the University with their different professional and private backgrounds, with respect to a dialogue with the private sector, the public sector and non-profit-organisations; moreover, they make knowledge sources external to the University accessible to the HSG. From January 2018 to December 2020, 19 international Advisory Board members will be active for the University of St.Gallen, delivering momentum for its future development and with it for the development of the educational and business location of Switzerland. The Advisory Board members who convene twice per year on the St.Gallen campus, constitute the third Advisory Board since its establishment in the year 2007.
Sharing experience
The Advisory Board members are active in diverse business sectors: including industry and trade, real estate, banking and insurance, as well as the areas of education and research. These professional competencies, in combination with national and international experience, are an enrichment for the entire University. In this way, the Advisory Board was able to give essential impulses for a successful organisational development: The introduction of English-language Bachelor and Master programmes, the development of international hubs (HSG-hubs), the targeted advancement of entrepreneurship as well as a precision of the HSG research profiles are results of the commitment of the HSG Advisory Board members. Together with the representatives of the University, the Advisory Board Members face the challenges of a 21st century business school with international and regional roots.
