Emory University’s Board of Trustees has elected four new members: Tom Barkin, Lee Miller, Greg Vaughn and Mark Weinberger.

Miller, a managing director with The Glenmede Trust Company, N.A.; Vaughn, CEO of Bauerfeind USA Inc.; and Weinberger, global chairman and CEO of EY, will serve as alumni trustees. Barkin, an executive with McKinsey & Company, is a term trustee. All will serve six-year terms on the board.

“These accomplished new trustees represent the excellent work of the Emory Alumni Board to identify the best leaders among our alumni population, and also the commitment of our current board to seek out the finest members of our larger community to serve as Emory trustees,” says Allison Dykes, vice president and secretary of Emory University.

Including these appointments, the 43-member Board of Trustees oversees the governance and long-range fiduciary health of the university.
