Mariam Juya, a junior majoring in biology from Stroudsburg, Pa., was sworn in as the student member of the East Stroudsburg University Council of Trustees on Tuesday, March 29.

The student trustee represents the entire student body and gains the opportunity to work with top university officials.

Juya was selected from a pool of extraordinary applicants.

Each of Pennsylvania’s state-owned universities has a Council of Trustees consisting of 11 members including one undergraduate student.

Primarily, the trustees are responsible for following the powers and duties as required in ACT 188, Section 20-2009 A.

The rigorous application process consisted of a series of interviews, including with Marcia G. Welsh, Ph.D., president of East Stroudsburg University, Frank Brogan, chancellor of Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education, and the office of the governor in Pennsylvania.
