Our Visiting Committee on Continuing Education was formed in 2004 to give guidance and support to the Division of Continuing Education in its mission as a major educational outreach unit of Cleveland State University. The Visiting Committee:

• Develops a continuing knowledge of the mission, programs, priorities, challenges, and needs of the Division of Continuing Education.
• Provides advice and support to the Dean and Division staff about the Division’s programs, faculty, marketing, client development, and outreach.
• Supports and promotes the work of the Division, assisting it in increasing its external visibility and developing new partnerships.
