What is the SEC?

The leadership of SML includes an Executive Committee. The SEC is comprised of 7 people plus a special topical advisor. Three members are from Cornell and three from UNH, plus SML’s Executive Director. Members typically serve a period of three years, though as we reform this committee, we are staggering the service periods randomly among the members. We hope you can join the Committee for a period of 3 years. This appointment can be renewed.

The committee will focus on three things:

1. Operate effectively and efficiency with the support of our UNH and Cornell

2. Find solutions to operational and program challenges

3. Identify opportunities for growth, engagement, and overall mission

Committee members include:

Dr. Erik Chapman, Chair
Interim Director, School of Marine Science and Ocean Engineering, University of New Hampshire

Dr. Cyndee Gruden
Dean, College of Engineering & Physical Sciences, University of New Hampshire

Dr. Kim Babbitt
Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, College of Life Sciences and Agriculture, University of New Hampshire
