The process is in the nomination phase - candidates who can solicit 250 or more nominations will be placed on the election ballot in April.
Each year, Penn Staters can elect three alumni to serve on the Penn State Board of Trustees.
The elections consist of two phases - the nomination phase which runs from January 15th through February 25th, and the general election which will take place later in the spring. The process is in the nomination phase - candidates who solicit 250 or more nominations will be placed on the election ballot in April.
If you are an alumnus who has voted in previous elections, you should have received a nominating ballot in your e-mail on January 15th. If you are not familiar with the process, or have not voted in previous elections, or have not received your ballot, you need to request your nominating ballot from Penn State. You can find a link to request your ballot here: 2022 Alumni Trustee Nomination Ballot Request (office.com)
You do have to be an alumni to cast a ballot - but if you are not, you can make an impact by forwarding this message to any alumni among your family and friends. Since Penn State does not publicize the elections, they probably are not aware of the process of how to vote, or who to vote for.
Candidates who have announced their intentions to run:
The three incumbents - Barbara Doran, Bill Oldsey, and Ted Brown, have all announce that they have reached the required 250 nominations.
Three candidates are still soliciting nominations:
Barry Fenchak BARRY FENCHAK FOR PENN STATE TRUSTEE – Responsible governance. For a change. (barryfenchak4trustee.com)
Maribeth Roman Schmidt Maribeth Schmidt - Maribeth Roman Schmidt for Penn State University Trustee. Expect More. Nominate and Vote Today. (schmidt4psutrustee.com)
and

The slate of Penn State Forward, the advocacy group sponsored by The Boarding School, can now be found on their public website: Penn State Forward | Join Us (psuforward.org). I assume they are still soliciting nominations.
