Certification I have received and am prepared to undertake these responsibilities and expectations of serving on the CU Boulder Engineering Advisory Council. If circumstances prevent me from fulfilling one or more of the expectations, I will inform Interim Dean Keith Molenaar听(keith.molenaar@colorado.edu, 303-735-4276) so that we may discuss how best to proceed with my contributions to the College.
