Miami Herbert Business School benefits from the guidance of different advisory councils like the Real Estate Advisory Council and the Dean's Advisory Committee. These advisory councils provide an external perspective while offering input on the School’s strategic direction and overall objectives. Council members like Kalsi and Witkoff are a vital link to the broader business community and serve as advisors and advocates for Miami Herbert Leadership.
