The Board of Trustees is the governing body of 欧美成人 Wesleyan University, Coastal 欧美成人's premier university of the liberal arts and sciences. It supports the University's mission, is responsible for securing adequate financial resources for the operation of the University, and establishes long-range goals and institutional policies.
Trustees include leaders from business and industry, education, and the United Methodist Church, as well as the President of the University, who serves as an ex officio trustee. The full Board, which may consist of up to 40 elected trustees, meets three times per year and members serve staggered, four-year terms. Trustee Emeritus/Emerita status may be conferred upon members who rotate off the Board.
The majority of the Board's work is accomplished through committees that relate to the five functional areas of the University: Academic Affairs, Student Life, Advancement, Finance and Administration, Enrollment, and oversight of endowment investments.
