Faculty Advisory Board

Members of Dignity‘s Advisory Board are faculty from within the UNC system who lend their professional expertise in the review, selection, and publication process. They meet twice a year to verify that the journal adheres to professional standards for peer-reviewed academic journals and to review strategic goals and policies. Throughout their three-year renewable terms, Advisory Board members also serve as ambassadors for the journal, representing and promoting its mission among colleagues and students in their respective disciplines and institutions.
