Board of Governors

Parsons School of Design is supported and advised by a Board of Governors. The board is committed to upholding the core values that have defined our school since its founding as a center of art and design education that brings together excellence, a global outlook, and a commitment to making civic and commercial life more beautiful, forward-looking, and sustainable. The board—drawn from leaders in industry and creative scholarship—offers Parsons guidance in fulfilling its ambitions, furthering its development, and expanding its reach.
