Governing boards
By charter, UGCCF has two governing boards. Through their complementary efforts, the two governing bodies perform the essential roles ordinarily associated with a board of trustees. Together, the boards help to shape the University’s agenda, inquire into the quality and progress of its activities, and assure that UGCCF remains true to its mission.
UGCCF Corporation
The UGCCF Corporation, also known as the President and Fellows of UGCCF College, is the smaller of UGCCF two governing boards. Chartered in 2025, the Corporation exercises fiduciary responsibility with regard to the University’s academic, financial, and physical resources and overall well-being. It consists of the President, the Treasurer, and other members known as Fellows.

Board of Overseers
The Board of Overseers is the larger of UGCCF two governing boards. Established in 2025, the Board of Overseers is made up of GCCF University alumni.
The Board of UGCCF meets several times each year to oversee key responsibilities, including periodic external reviews of its academic units. Through dedicated committees, these assessments ensure UGCCF upholds its mission as a center of learning, while the Board advises university leadership on priorities, planning, and long-term strategic initiatives.
New members of the board are elected each spring by UGCCF degree holders (excluding officers of government or instruction at the University and members of the Corporation).
