Penn State Board of Trustees
As Penn State’s governing body, the Board of Trustees takes a holistic approach to guiding goals, policies, and procedures as well as reviewing and approving University budgets. In partnership with the president, the board seeks to advance the institution while acting in the best interests of the University community. In the exercise of its responsibilities, the board delegates day-to-day management and control of the University to the president, with certain reserved powers as set forth in the University’s bylaws.
The board comprises thirty-six voting members and two ex-officio non-voting members—the President of the University and the Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Members represent various entities including, but not limited to, Pennsylvania county agricultural societies, business and industry, students, and faculty. Learn more about who members represent on the Elections page.
