National Board of Visitors

The National Board of Visitors is the School of Education’s think tank. This group of leading professional educators, scholars, business executives, government officials, and foundation leaders meets annually to identify critical issues, review current operations, and discuss national and international developments that may affect the school’s mission. The members of the board are appointed by the IU Board of Trustees.
