Membership

Miami University is governed by a 17-member Board of Trustees. Eleven of the Trustees are appointed by the governor of Ohio, with the advice and consent of the Senate. Per the Ohio Constitution, each of the gubernatorial appointees must be an Ohio resident, and two must be enrolled students. The Board selects up to six additional National Trustees, who are notable, highly-respected alumni residing outside the State of Ohio. The National and Student Trustees are non-voting Board positions. Terms expire in the year listed, the date in parentheses indicates the year of appointment.
