The President’s Board of Advisors provides leadership in promoting the mission of the University. This select group of business and civic leaders serve as ambassadors by reaching out and involving other members of the South Florida community in the University’s activities. From corporate relations to marketing, from planned giving to special events, the President’s Board of Advisors contributes to the University’s mission and supports a number of significant activities. Participation in the Board also provides business and professional leaders a chance to network with others who are interested in expanding quality education in South Florida.
Membership of the President’s Board of Advisors is by invitation and requires an annual contribution of $1000.
Since its founding in 1996, more than 150 community leaders have made significant contributions to St. Thomas University through the President’s Board of Advisors.
