The Board of Governors
The Board of Governors includes distinguished leaders of academia, business, and government, people whose vision and commitment provide leadership for the Pardee RAND Graduate School. The governance of the School is complex, as PRGS is both an integral part of RAND and an autonomous entity within it. Intellectually, organizationally, and financially, the School is part of RAND. RAND’s research staff provides the principal faculty for the School. RAND’s research programs offer a broad spectrum of studies in which graduate fellows can take part, applying the knowledge they are acquiring in their academic courses.
