History
Started in 1999 to bring the student voice into the Board of Trustees meetings, the USSB has evolved over the years to best represent students from all member institutions. The USSB now consists of 2 members from Keene State College and Plymouth State University and 4 members from the constituent schools of the University of New Hampshire, representing both undergraduate and graduate students.
