Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett appointed Shane P. McGrady, of Harrisburg, Pa., to the Council of Trustees (COT) for Millersville.

Shane McGrady

McGrady is 20 years old and a junior business administration major at Millersville University.  His concentrations are in accounting and international business. McGrady applied for the position and was interviewed by a Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) representative in March 2011. He will be the undergraduate student member of the council at Millersville until the end of May 2015 or as long as he is a full-time undergraduate student at Millersville.

“Receiving this position is a great honor, and I am very excited to have been selected,” says McGrady. “The COT is a very important part of Millersville University, and I am thrilled to be a member.”

Each PASSHE university has a COT of 11 members, two of whom must be alumni of the university they are appointed to. One member must be a full-time undergraduate student, other than a freshman, and must be enrolled for at least 12 credit hours.

The COT has the responsibility of advising the governor of the appointment, retention and dismissal of the university president. The council also has the authority to approve academic programs, make changes to room and board costs and approve contracts and university purchases.
