Affiliate faculty advance the teaching and research missions of the College of Information Science. While some affiliated faculty are invited to serve on student committees, others might choose to give a talk as part of the InfoSci colloquia series and still others might wish to engage with faculty in the college by working on collaborative grant proposals. Faculty affiliates tend to enjoy hearing our news, attending our events and meeting new faculty and students.
