Default Help with some words

Dear all,

I'm new to this forum. By circumstances I found myself translating an important document for the College I work for. The text has some words /sentences that I am not sure how to best translate. Any help is greatly appreciated.

These are the words: (complete sentences in parenthesis)

College
Board of Trustees
Alumni (named for the College's most illustrious Alumni)
Lifetime (lifetime service)
Endowed Professorship

Muchas gracias.

college = universidad
board of trustees = junta directiva
Alumni = Alumni (as it is latin it can be used the same.)

College = universidad is correct. However, if this is a college within a university, as in, College of Jouralism of ... Univeristy, this should be Facultad.
Board of Trustees - Consejo de Fiduciarios o Fideicomisarios adds the element of legal ownership and final authority.
Alumni (named for the College's most illustrious Alumni) Ex-alumno más ilustre
Lifetime (lifetime service) = servicio de vida
Endowed Professorship = Profesorado Dotado
