Board of Advisors

FORMALLY ESTABLISHED IN 1844

The University of Saint Mary of the Lake benefits from the insights and assistance provided by its Advisory Board. This board plays a role in advising and supporting university officials in various areas. It aids in the promotion of the university’s presence not only within the Archdiocese but also in wider contexts, while also advancing mission. In addition to this, the Advisory Board is a valuable resource for matters related to budgeting, finance, legal considerations, and management practices. Their consultation ensures the university’s growth, sustainability, and effective operation.
