The CHSD Academic Circle is an advisory board that directly connects the center to each college at Texas A&M University.
The Academic Circle advises the center on:
- Which faculty should be fellows
- Classes that would be good electives for the certificate
- Research opportunities
The Center for Health Systems & Design is the first research unit to create a group of this kind.
The Power of Connections
The Academic Circle empowers our mission as a research hub for health systems and design. This unique advisory board gives us the ability to quickly connect people across the university.
People can come to us with a research problem and we can connect them to relevant faculty and deans in every college.
