校董会

主席的话

欢迎!

It is my pleasure to serve as chairperson of the 校董会 at 布里奇沃特 State University. Like many members of the 布里奇沃特 community, I was the first in my family to graduate from college. My Dad was a blacksmith and my Mom worked on her family's farm before they immigrated to the United States. Boston State College was my 布里奇沃特, so I am keenly aware of the transformational opportunity that BSU extends to you.

布里奇沃特 is a special place because of the extraordinary commitment of the 教职员工. Daily, they actualize the mission and values of BSU. They fulfill that responsibility by providing students with the tools to successfully build their bridge to achieve their aspirations. I would suggest what distinguished 布里奇沃特 is that the community is dedicated to the success of every student without exception.  

BSU is fortunate to have a totally engaged 校董会. 作为他们的 简短的传记 in the following pages attest, they bring to the role of a trustee their distinguished and diverse professional careers. As one of Massachusetts largest public universities, 教育, 服务, and supporting approximately 10,每年有1000名学生, the 校董会 takes very seriously our stewardship responsibility to BSU's students and families, 教职员工, and to the citizens and taxpayers of the Commonwealth.

The 校董会 of 布里奇沃特 State University is the institution’s governing body and is composed of citizens from the region and state who volunteer their time to serve. The Board has a fiduciary responsibility for the operation of the university, charged with reviewing and approving a range of academic and business matters including the annual budget and faculty tenure. The Board also appoints and reviews the performance of the 总统 and the university on an ongoing basis.  

The Board consists of eleven members, all of whom (except a student member who is elected by the student body to a one-year term) are appointed by the Governor, with at least one member who is a BSU alumnus elected by the 校友 Association. Each member of the Board is elected to a five-year term and can serve for no more than two consecutive terms.

The full Board meets five times annually and conducts its meetings in accordance with the Massachusetts Open Meeting Law. We welcome your attendance at Board meetings – please see 校董会 会议 for the upcoming schedule. The Board has 12 standing committees – Executive; Academic and Student Affairs; Finance and Operations; Honorary Degree Advisory; 校友 and 发展; External Relations; Student Success and 多样性; University Safety and Security; Nominating; 总统ial Review and Compensation; Racial Justice and Equity; and Audit. There is also an ad hoc committee for Enrollment and Marketing. These committees convene throughout the year to consider and report out policy and action recommendations to the full Board.

It is my privilege to serve the university as a Trustee and its 主席.

问候,

迈克尔·泰勒
