The Board consists of 30 trustees and the president of the College, who is ex officio a member of the Board. A chair of the Board is elected from the members and serves no more than two successive three-year terms. Twenty-one trustees may be Board-elected trustees, and six are alumni-elected trustees. Three additional trustees (class trustees) shall be elected, one from the class most recently graduated, and one each from the two preceding classes; each is elected for a term of three years. The Board is the governing body of the College and retains all powers appropriate to its responsibilities as such regardless of specific delegations of authority.
