Board of Visitors
The Board of Visitors is a group of alumni, parents and friends that share a passion for the progress and development of the University. The Board assists students and employees by providing grants for activities and programs focused on the student experience not included in the University’s budget. As of December 2022, the Board has awarded almost $775,000.
Beyond grants, the Board of Visitors continues to grow in campus involvement. Members serve as University ambassadors throughout Homecoming weekend as well as participate in University Lyceums and other campus events.
The Board meets twice a year, once in the fall and spring, with several additional engagement opportunities throughout the year.
