Welcome
The Board of Trustees is the principal governance authority of Southern Methodist University.
The Board of Trustees is composed of 42 members, including 3 bishops and 9 other trustees recommended by the South Central Jurisdiction of The United Methodist Church; 26 trustees recommended by the Board; and 4 ex officio members (the President of the University and one representative each of the Students' Association, the Faculty Senate, and the Alumni Board). The Board of Trustees meets four times a year (in February, May, September, and December).
The Board of Trustees is responsible for the election of the President and establishes policies for the governance of the University. Members of the Board dedicate their expertise and resources to the advancement of SMU and play an integral role in the implementation of the mission and strategic plan of the University.
