Seton Hall University Welcomes New Members to Board of Regents

Seton Hall University is pleased to welcome five new members to its Board of Regents: David L. Flood, Alan Kirshenbaum, Juan Simón Mendoza Gimenez, Nicole Mouskondis and the Most Reverend Joseph A. Williams, Bishop of Camden. Together, they bring extensive experience in healthcare philanthropy, global finance, international enterprise, family-owned business leadership and pastoral ministry.

The remaining four lay Regents began their three-year terms in July 2025, in accordance with University bylaws.

Their leadership in healthcare, business, philanthropy and the Church will help us form great minds for a greater purpose, deepen our commitment to students and ensure that Seton Hall continues to be a place of hope, possibility and faithful witness in a rapidly changing world.”
