We are excited to announce our FY24 Board of Directors! We look forward to seeing them work on behalf of all students across the Minnesota State University system.
Students United is a 501c3 nonprofit governed by a Board of Directors. The board is composed of seven voting members, who are the student body presidents of their respective Minnesota State universities. If the student body president cannot serve for any reason, they are able to appoint an individual to serve in their place. The board serves on a one-year term that runs from July to the end of June the following year.
