Alumni Trustees

Pursuant to the Charter and Bylaws, nine Trustees are elected by Penn State alumni and former students of the University. Trustee terms are staggered so that the terms of three Trustees elected by alumni expire each year. The procedures for the election of Trustees by Alumni are set forth in the Elections Appendix to the ByLaws.

Voting for the alumni trustee election begins at 9:00 a.m. (ET) on Monday, April 21, 2025. Alumni have until 9:00 a.m. (ET) on Thursday, May 8 to cast their vote.

How do I vote? You will receive a ballot if you are a Penn State alumnus/alumna, we have a valid email address on file for you, and you have not otherwise opted out of Penn State communications.
