Board of Trustees

Although St. Mary’s College of Maryland has always been a public institution, it occupies a unique position within the Maryland state college system. Unlike the other state colleges, St. Mary’s has an independent board of trustees. By virtue of their interest, experience, and ability, members of the board, who are appointed by the governor of Maryland for six-year terms, represent a source of unusual strength to the College.
