Life Trustees

Emeritus Life Trustees and Emerita Life Trustees are those who have been elected after serving three or more terms on the Board or whose service terminated after seventy years of age.

Honorary Life Trustees are former trustees who are deserving of exceptional recognition but have served less than three full terms on the Board or persons whose great service to the College merits recognition even though they have not served as a member of the Board.

The first date indicates the year of first election to the Board; the last, the year of election to Emeritus or Emerita Life membership or to Honorary Life membership.
