As Student Body President, one of my most important roles is serving on our University’s Board of Trustees. The Board is the highest decision-making body at the University; they approve University expenditures, set tuition & fees, approve our degrees and hire faculty and administrators. This last power is especially important now that U of L is in a time of transition.
I learned in an honors seminar that one of the most important jobs for any Board is to select a President. The University of Louisville needs someone who is not only an effective administrator but also a person with the integrity and stamina to lead our University through a challenging period for higher education.
