NEW HAVEN – Yale President Richard C. Levin announced today the appointment of two new successor trustees to the Yale Corporation. The new trustees are Byron Auguste '89 B.A. and Charles "Chip" W. Goodyear IV '80 B.S.; their terms will begin July 1.
They will succeed Senior Fellow Roland Betts, chair of Chelsea Piers Management, Inc., and the Honorable Barrington D. Parker of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, who will retire from the Corporation in June.
"Yale will benefit enormously from the wisdom and wide-ranging experiences of both Byron and Chip. Each is an accomplished leader of global enterprises and a devoted alumnus of the University," said Levin.
