Board Of Trustees Re-Elects Dambly, Schuyler As Chair, Vice Chair

Penn State’s Board of Trustees met Thursday and Friday at Penn State Berks for its bi-monthly meeting. The Board re-elected Mark Dambly and Matthew Schuyler to the position of chair and vice chair respectively for the 2018-19 school year during its Friday assembly.

Dambly, running against alumni-elected trustee Ted Brown, received 26 votes to Brown’s 10. Schuyler ran unopposed.  

A business and industry trustee who was first appointed to the Board in 2010, Dambly will serve his second term as chair. He was first elected to the position in 2017.

He is the president of the Philadelphia-based real estate development firm Pennrose Properties, LLC. Dambly also serves on the board of directors of the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, and holds a degree in real estate and insurance from Penn State. 

Schuyler is an at-large trustee and the chief human resources officer for Hilton Worldwide. He earned a degree in accounting from Penn State and was first elected to the Board in 2015. He is also a member of the School of Hospitality Management Advisory Board and the Board of Visitors of the Smeal College of Business. He received an Alumni Fellow Award in 2013. 

The pair’s election marked the end of an assembly that saw the approval of a $6.5 billion budget and a tuition freeze for in-state undergraduate students as well as the introduction of recently-elected alumni trustees Brandon Short, Rob Tribeck and Laurie Stanell.
