Message from the Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees is the governing body of the University. The Board serves in a role of accountability to the citizens of the state of Alabama for all matters of the University, including its financial resources. The Board consistently strives to help advance USA as a leader in education and healthcare in the state of Alabama, the region and internationally.

The Board of Trustees is committed to enhancing the success of the University of South Alabama and ensuring that our strategic direction and priorities are a focus in the achievement of the University mission. This can only be accomplished through the shared responsibility of all of the University constituencies.

My colleagues on the Board, with President Waldrop, and the University’s dedicated and outstanding leadership team, faculty and students will continue to work together in an effort to move USA forward.

We are the University of South Alabama. We are South! Jimmy Shumock Chair Pro Tempore, Board of Trustees
