Thomas Mastro was sworn in Wednesday. He will be a voting member of the board because he was elected president of the SUNY Student Assembly.

Mastro was a student at Onondaga Community College in the fall of 2012. He then transferred to SUNY Broome Community College.

Mastro now is studying human development as a junior at Binghamton University.

In a statement released by SUNY, Mastro said he will work "to ensure the student voice is heard and considered" by the board of trustees.

Mastro is to serve a one-year term on the SUNY board.
