Students on the Board of Trustees
Two students, nominated by the membership of the Student Senate and elected by the Board of Trustees, serve as full members of the Board of Trustees for two-year terms. The Student Senate announces a date in the spring term before which a sophomore who wishes to be considered for the Board of Trustees must submit a petition to the election committee of the Student Senate. The election committee carefully screens all applications and places the names of not more than five students on the ballot. The nominee receiving the most votes in the all-College election becomes the students’ nominee for the Board of Trustees. The nominee is subject to approval by the Board of Trustees at its annual meeting in May and begins his/her 2 year term of office with the new academic year.
