Executive Board
The day-to-day operations of OST are managed by the Executive Board. It is composed of the President, the Director of Administration (Head of Central Services), the Chief of Staff, and the Deans of the six Schools. The President leads the university, chairs the Executive Board, and represents OST externally. To ensure that the university is managed according to consistent principles and to promote interdisciplinary collaboration, the members of the Executive Board also carry cross-functional responsibilities.
