There's new leadership of the Luther College Board of Regents.

Long-time Board of Regents Chair Paul Torgerson has finished out a four-year term, as has Vice Chair Sandy Lee.  They are both staying on the board, but stepping down from leadership positions.

Judy Vijums has been elected to chair the Board of Regents and Wendy Davidson has been elected as vice-chair, both for two-year terms.

Three Regents completed their terms of service--Peggy Ettestad, George Kuh and Richard Theiler--while new Regent Michael Osterholm is beginning his term on the board.

Kuh was granted "Regent Emeritus" status after serving three four-year terms, the maximum term of service on the Board of Regents.
