Faculty Advisory Board
The Atkinson Center's Faculty Advisory Board (FAB), formed in early 2008, guides ACSF's activities. The FAB is made up of ACSF faculty fellows and leadership and representatives from across Cornell.
Voting Members
Six tenured or tenure-track Cornell University faculty members represent each of ACSF's major program areas. One of the faculty members in each major area is that program's associate director, with the remaining five members appointed by the ACSF director and associate director in consultation with the FAB's chair and college deans.
Ex Officio Members
These members include the ACSF's director, executive director, and other staff as designated by the director; a representative of the Office of the Provost (currently the vice provost for life sciences); and representatives of interested Cornell colleges.

Climate Change Consortium
ACSF’s Climate Change Consortium includes historians, engineers, and ecologists, bringing diverse perspectives to the challenge. The consortium helped launch Cornell’s popular minor in climate change, a first in the Ivy League. Cornell also has a newly established Cornell Institute for Climate Change and Agriculture and a website devoted to climate change at Cornell, which includes a list of faculty engaged in related research.
