Board of Trustees
The men and women who serve as our Mount Marty University Board of Trustees work selflessly behind the scenes, and their service is vitally important to our school’s success.
Trustees are nominated by the board and approved by the Council of Sacred Heart Monastery, our sponsoring institution. Trustee terms are four years, and trustees are eligible to serve two four-year terms.
The board meets three times per year. Trustees also serve on committees, including Academic Affairs, Finance and Audit, Trusteeship, Institutional Advancement, Building and Grounds, and Student Affairs and Enrollment Management.
The Board of Trustees is the ultimate fiduciary of Mount Marty University and is charged with the general oversight of our institutional affairs in accord with our charter, bylaws, evolving statements of mission and purpose, and institutional plans.
