Salve Regina University

Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees supports and conveys the University mission, provides long-range planning, ensures responsible management and communicates the needs of society to the University community. The Board works in collaboration with the Conference for Mercy Higher Education, which maintains and enhances the mercy mission for Sisters of Mercy colleges and universities throughout the U.S.

Members of the Board include alumni, parents of graduates, the bishop of the Diocese of Providence, regional community and business leaders and members of the Institute of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas. Board members serve four-year terms, with the possibility of re-election to a second four-year term. After they have served two terms, they are eligible for re-election after an interval of at least one year.

Trustees are expected to serve on at least one of five board committees, including academic and student affairs, finance, properties, university relations and advancement, and trustee matters. Other committees include executive, audit, compensation, honorary degree, investment, long range planning and mission, along with ad hoc committees.

The academic and student affairs committee includes a student representative. The committee frequently invites faculty members and students to meetings in order to discuss the effectiveness of the various programs and policies that affect students. The speaker of the Faculty Assembly is invited to board meetings.
