Advisory Board of Directors

An elected body, the Zimmerli’s Board of Overseers provides counsel and support for the museum’s mission to serve both the campus and community audiences. The board is composed of no more than 30 alumni and dedicated citizens, including four ex-officio members: the Rutgers executive vice president of academic affairs, the president of the Rutgers University Foundation, and the museum director.
