Board of Trustees

Our Board of Trustees represents the communities we serve

Waubonsee Community College is governed by an elected Board of Trustees, who have collectively contributed over 50 years of volunteer service and leadership to the college. Trustees are elected for a six-year term and each year the student body elects a student trustee to serve on the board for a one-year term.
