“I’m indebted to my fellow curators for their commitment and dedication to the University of Missouri,” Sundvold said. “We have a wonderful variety of skillful individuals on the Board, and we’re able to take advantage of their expertise through these committee assignments.”

Sundvold also said the board’s structure will change for 2019.
