Messiah University Board of Trustees

The Messiah University Board of Trustees is a national board comprised of highly engaged alumni, current and former Messiah parents, community and faith leaders and other University friends. Standing meetings of the board are scheduled for three times each year in January, April and October. The charge given to our board of trustees includes:

  • To appoint, support, nurture and evaluate the president of the University
  • To establish and maintain the University’s purpose and mission
  • To provide oversight of the educational programs and services offered by the University
  • To approve long-range plans
  • To ensure strong financial management and adequate financial resources
  • To interpret the needs of society and the Church to the campus
  • To interpret the mission of the campus to the Church and community
  • To assess its own performance through routine evaluation

Messiah University has been blessed with a heritage of board members who are extraordinary supporters of our mission. The trustees play a vital role in the success of our students, faculty, and campus as a whole, and we are very grateful for their personal and professional contributions.
