Student Perspective
After a four year sabbatical, the Dean’s Leadership Council has been re-invented. The Dean’s Leadership Council, which dates back to 1979, when it was known as the Home Economics Council, dissipated in 2003. In early years, the Home Economics Council served as a collective voice of students to the Dean. They were considered the Student Government of the College of Home Economics, focusing on the needs and concerns of students. They also served as student representatives at events sponsored by the College of Home Economics and Texas Tech University. Students were selected by the Dean to sit on this council. In later years, the Home Economics Council soon became the Dean’s Leadership Council, following the name change of the college in 1993.
