Board of Directors

The UConn Foundation is governed by a dynamic volunteer board of elected directors who are drawn from corporations and community organizations, as well as ex officios from UConn's administration, faculty, and student body. The professional backgrounds, skills, and knowledge of its members enable the Foundation to carry out its ambitious goals, which include achieving UConn's educational, scientific, cultural, research, and recreational objectives. Each Board of Directors member generously gives their time, expertise, and financial resources to support UConn in being widely recognized as a world-class national public research university that produces a rich flow of ideas, sparks invention and innovation, and improves the quality of life for all people.
