LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Cal State LA President Berenecea Johnson Eanes has been elected to serve on the Board of Directors of the Coalition of Urban and Metropolitan Universities (CUMU) for the 2024-2026 term.
CUMU is an international organization of universities in large metropolitan areas that share common understandings of their institutional missions and values and commitments to improving the social, economic, and cultural well-being of their surrounding communities.
Eanes' board appointment was announced during the CUMU presidents' council meeting at the annual CUMU Conference on Oct. 22.
"CUMU welcomes our newest board members who come from institutions that are leaders in how they engage with and anchor our communities," says CUMU Board Chair Kristin Sobolik, chancellor of the University of Missouri-St. Louis. "Educational relevancy and inclusive economic growth are central to CUMU's mission and the strategic direction of higher education as we seek to be collaborative, relevant, and engaged community partners. I want to thank my fellow presidents and chancellors for their commitment to the CUMU mission and to helping change the world for better."
Board members are nominated and elected to two-year terms by peers from CUMU member institutions. Each has a demonstrated commitment to the CUMU mission of promoting and enhancing urban and metropolitan universities. The board of directors is made up of presidents and chancellors of CUMU member institutions.
