Two new members joined Yale’s Board of Trustees in July. Carlos Moreno ’70 (below left), a former US ambassador to Belize and former California Supreme Court justice, was elected by alumni to a six-year term this spring (over Maurie McInnis ’96PhD). Michael Cavanagh ’88 (above left), chief financial officer of Comcast, was chosen by the board for a six-year term.


The Board of Trustees, historically known as the Yale Corporation, also announced two reappointments. Rhode Island governor Gina Raimondo ’98JD will serve another six-year term; she has been on the board since 2014, when she was elected by alumni. And former US ambassador to the EU William Kennard ’81JD will also serve a second term.
