Engineering Master’s Programs Student Advisory Board

Our Mission

The Engineering Master’s Programs Student Advisory Board (SAB) represents the voices of master’s students across all departments and programs within the Pratt School of Engineering. SAB serves as a vital communication channel between students and school leadership, advocating for student needs, ideas, and perspectives.

As a launchpad for leadership development, SAB enhances the student experience through inclusive programming, peer collaboration, academic and career alignment, wellness support, and cross-program engagement. Through these efforts, SAB helps foster a vibrant, responsive, and supportive graduate community.


Our Vision

We envision a thriving and inclusive graduate community where every engineering master’s student is empowered to lead, connect, and grow. SAB aspires to be a leadership incubator that cultivates future-ready, socially conscious, and impact-driven engineers.

By fostering meaningful collaboration, amplifying student feedback, and strengthening cross-program connections, SAB aims to create lasting impact within Pratt and beyond—building a legacy of student-led innovation and meaningful engagement.

The staff advisor to the Student Advisory Board is Dr. Xiaoyan Hu. Please email her with any questions.
