Board of Trustees

Trustees have a fiduciary responsibility to uphold and advance the mission of the University as they provide overall governance of the institution.

As Assumption students and graduates are called upon to demonstrate compassionate service and faithful citizenship, serving as a trustee is yet another means by which one may faithfully reflect the pillars of the University's mission. Trustees, each of whom has enjoyed considerable accomplishments, are well-positioned to offer invaluable counsel to University leadership.

Meeting three times throughout the year, trustees make meaningful contributions to the direction and future of the University using their expertise in an array of fields acting in the best, long-term interest of the institution.
