The Board of Trustees of La Roche College is committed to the school's mission and to ensuring that adequate fiscal resources are available to realize that mission. The Board further affirms the teaching, research and service roles of higher education and the concomitant value of academic freedom in a free and democratic American society.
In particular, the Board affirms the value of a college education which promotes the development of civic responsibility and productive working members of society; the importance of the American enterprise system as the cornerstone of a strong and free economy; the strength of the Catholic heritage of the College and the need to educate for social justice; and the social goal of providing access to higher education for diverse citizens of the society.
The quality education and financial health of La Roche College depends to a large measure on the competence of those chosen to serve as trustees. Some of the skills the College seeks in trustees are: ability to raise and manage financial resources; knowledge of higher education; knowledge of local, state, and/or federal government; lobbying or political skills; knowledge of real estate and legal expertise. The Board seeks diversity of age; sex; educational, racial, ethnic and religious background; and social and political views.
Regular meetings of the Board are held in the months of February, May and October. The following are current Board members:
