The California State University Board of Trustees meeting in their boardroom at the CSU Chancellor’s office in Long Beach, Calif.

The California State University Board of Trustees is responsible for the oversight of the system’s 23 schools. The 25-member group adopts the governing rules, regulations and policies of the campus, and now Talar Alexanian, a student at California State University, Northridge, has joined them.

Gov. Jerry Brown made the announcement of Alexanian’s appointment, which will last for two years. Alexanian will serve as the non-voting student trustee in her first year and assume the voting student trustee position—which is currently being held by Cipriano Vargas of California State University, San Marcos—in her second year.
