Board approves two student-trustee appointments for IUP and Penn West
Summary
The Governance and Leadership Committee recommended—and the full board adopted—appointments of Jackson White to the IUP Council of Trustees and Timothy Marcus to the Penn West Council of Trustees; both appointments were approved by committee and ratified by the full board.
The Board of Governors approved two student-trustee appointments recommended by the Governance and Leadership Committee: Jackson White for Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) and Timothy Marcus for Penn West (Clarion campus).
The committee considered application materials and heard brief recommendations from campus presidents. President Driscoll described Jackson White's committee review and campus activities, including his Cook Honors College involvement and student-ambassador work. President Anderson introduced Timothy Marcus and noted Marcus's background as a junior biology pre-med major at Penn West Clarion and service in the U.S. Navy Reserve.
Committee chair Governor Sam Smith asked for and received a committee motion and second to recommend the appointments. The committee voted and adopted the recommendations; the full board then approved the committee actions by voice vote. The board noted both students had class conflicts that prevented immediate participation and that formal ratification would occur on the full board.
Ending: The board welcomed the two student trustees and congratulated them on their appointments.
