Priebe said that he plans to keep in touch with the students at DePauw when he is gone. Trustee meetings are held twice a year, but Priebe hopes to designate three current students to maintain active contact with the student body in order to really find out what's going on. DePauw's Student Trustee board is made up of three graduated members who are each elected to three-year terms.
Positions rotate, and an election for one position on the board is held each year.
