Robert G. Milnes III for PSU Alumni Trustee

The 2016 Trustee election was in the nomination phase through Feb 25. Unfortunately, I did not receive enough nominations to make the election ballot again this year and will be withdrawing from further efforts towards the BOT election for the foreseeable future. I’m looking at other opportunities to serve and may re-focus this group for future purposes. Feel free to suggest other ideas. Thank all of you who have supported and encouraged me during this process during these past 3 years.

2015 saw the field of hopefulls narrowed to 3 because of changes from those in power. Rob is neither wealthy nor famous: He is a Penn Stater who cares deeply about our University.

If elected, Rob will strive to:

  • Advance and expand the educational and economic role that Penn State plays within the Commonwealth and beyond while implementing comprehensive and innovative communication systems.
  • Construct and enact reform of the structure of the Board of Trustees to both modernize the system and safeguard that all factions of the University are proportionally and fairly represented.
  • Work with the in-coming president of Penn State to ensure that changes are supported and welcomed by University personnel, students and alumni. Penn State needs to return to leadership that can successfully implement long-time goals.
  • Help to contain tuition and room & board expenses to make PSU the first choice for in-state students by managing the University budget.
  • Honor the past while respecting the future. The University needs to re-examine the flawed Freeh Report to get to the truth. Joe needs to be finally be honored by the University. We also need to show our new coach that he is now one of us too.
