Trustee Election Campaign

Our School, Our Vote

As graduates of Indiana University, we have the unique responsibility of electing three of the nine members of the IU Board of Trustees. The remaining members, including the student trustee, are appointed by Indiana’s governor. Each alumni-elected trustee serves a rotating three-year term, so a trustee election is held annually.

IU’s trustees are responsible for vital tasks like helping steer major university decisions, managing the multi-billion-dollar budget, and coordinating projects that will shape IU’s future. That’s why it’s so important for qualified candidates to run for trustee, and for all graduates to vote in the election.
