Current Board Members

The Board of Regents consists of ten members, one of whom is a student. Regents are appointed by the governor to serve six-year terms, with the exception of the student regent, who serves a one-year term. Regents serve after the expiration of their terms until they resign or until the Governor appoints a replacement.

Officers of the Board are elected each year at the September meeting.
