Stevens, with the direction of FSC Chairman Sean Hanlon, is currently assembling the founding leadership team for the FSC. The Advisory Board for the FSC will have oversight responsibility for defining and guiding the broad research agendas, advising on design and management of the Lab and organizing the required financial support.
Building on the anchor funding provided by Stevens Trustee Sean Hanlon, the FSC is targeting a \($\)3 million fund to support the full construction and operation of the facility on an ongoing basis. The initial \($\)1 million of this funding will come from founding donors, drawn from the financial industry, who are willing to contribute time and expertise, as well as financial support, towards this goal. Each founding donor will be invited to join the FSC Advisory Board and serve in the following functions:
