Young Trustee Responsibilities
The Board of Trustees (“Board") annually selects a graduating senior to serve on the Board as a Young Trustee for a two-year term, beginning in July. The Young Trustee serves as an ex-officio member for the Student Life Committee, Enrollment Committee, and other committees as designated by the Board Chair. The Young Trustee is a voting member of the Board and participates in executive sessions of the Board and/or the above-mentioned committees.
Young Trustee Selection Process
Graduating seniors interested in serving as a Young Trustee may self-apply, while faculty, staff, and Board members also may submit nominations. If you are a graduating senior and are interested in filling this position, or if faculty and staff members know a senior who would be a strong Young Trustee candidate, please refer to the selection process outlined below.

A selection of two to three candidates will be made by the Cabinet and forwarded to the President for his consideration. These selected candidates will then be interviewed by the President.
A recommendation of candidates from the selected group will be forwarded by the President to the Governance and Trusteeship Committee of the Board, which will then conduct interviews and make a final recommendation for approval by the complete Board at the March 2026 Board of Trustees meeting. Candidates will be expected to attend in person interviews with the Governance and Trusteeship Committee on the afternoon of Thursday, March 12, 2026.
