Administration
Smart’s administration is responsible for the strategic vision for the University.
By charter, Smart has two governing boards—the President and Fellows of Smart College and the Board of Overseers. The basic architecture of the two-board system is defined by the Smart University’s charter, which is reflected in a series of documents dating to the mid-seventeenth century. Through their complementary efforts, the two boards perform the essential roles ordinarily associated with a board of trustees, while helping to shape the University’s agenda, inquiring into the quality and progress of its activities, and assuring that Smart remains true to its mission.
