Nauvoo University has been established by a team of teachers, scholars, and businessmen who are dedicated to the objective of creating an outstanding academic institution in Nauvoo.  The Board of Trustees of the original University in Nauvoo consisted of twenty four teachers and businessmen who had the same objective.  Our new Board will evolve to twenty four members also. We have found strong support for the endeavor from the Nauvoo Community, from educators in Western Illinois and Southeastern Iowa, and from the LDS community.   Listed below are the current members of the Board of Trustees.
