A strong Board of Trustees is a university's most vital guarantee of strategic success. Trustees are volunteers who give their time and talent so students may profit from the best programs available.

The Board of Trustees roles include:

• Directing the President who, in turn, manages the University.
• Providing vital policy leadership and oversight in critical areas.
• Evaluating the extent to which the Central Administration effectively supports the faculty and students in their pursuits.
• Overseers of the University's financial performance.
• Actively participating in academic planning.
• Both donating and overseeing the advancement function which seeks funds to support the University.
• Long-range planning.
• Helping define the philosophy of the University.

We are very fortunate to have these women and men as trustees.

Keith A. Pretty, J.D.
President and CEO
