Advisory Board

Since 1996, the MIE Advisory Board has met at least once a year to provide constructive critiques on the status of the MIE Project. The Board, which has membership approved by NSF, always has direct access to UTEP's top administrators to ensure that timely MIE project decisions are made to meet commitments to NSF. In anticipation of the third phase of the project, the Advisory Board urged the PI and co-PIs to develop a plan that preserves the integrity of MIE activities while anticipating a scenario of NSF and State of Texas budget reductions. The Board will continue to meet during the next three academic years to verify progress made in the institutionalization of MIE activities and to notifyNSF of such advances. Mr. Edward Ahnert, President of the ExxonMobil Foundation, will continue to serve as Chair of the Board.
