Preserving and Extending the Yale Mission, for This and Future Generations
The Yale Corporation, or board of trustees, is the university’s principal governing body. As passionate alumni, the trustees are committed to celebrating the curiosity of learning, honoring the impact of scholarship, and promoting the university’s far-reaching mission and legacy while addressing issues of strategic importance.Â
Through this commitment, our trustees ensure that Yale’s leadership is guided by sound policies and practices and equipped with the resources to further the university’s mission, which includes balancing the needs of today’s campus community with those of the next generation—a commitment to service that extends to the city of New Haven and beyond.
