The Santa Monica College General Advisory Board is a College support group formed to build a bridge to the local community, and gather feedback about what the College does well, and what the College could do better. The group is composed of diverse representatives from neighborhoods, businesses, and public and private agencies. GAB members serve at the invitation of the SMC Board of Trustees, the President of the College, and the Dean of Community and Academic Relations.
Through regular meetings, the GAB is kept informed about current offerings, future plans, and special events. General Advisory Board members also have the opportunity for informative exchanges with College leadership in an informal setting, as well as in-depth discussions with key staff in various SMC departments and programs. More information about the General Advisory Board is available by visiting smc.edu/GAB or calling 310-434-4100.
