Meet the Regents

The 12 volunteer members of the Board of Regents each serve for a six-year term. One Regent is from each of the state’s eight congressional districts, and four are from the state at-large. As of July 1, 2025, there are four vacancies on the Board of Regents. Those vacancies are being filled by the Governor of Minnesota. More information is available on the Minnesota Secretary of State's website.
