Tony Luetkemeyer

Governor Names New Student Representative to the Board

Tony Luetkemeyer, a second-year law student from University of Missouri-Columbia, was sworn in at the Board of Curators retreat in Marceline, Mo., as the new student representative to the Board. He was appointed by Gov. Matt Blunt.

Luetkemeyer graduated in May 2006 with bachelor's degrees in history and political science, magna cum laude, from UM-Columbia. Luetkemeyer has been active on the Columbia campus, including his election in 2005 as student body president. In 2006, he was elected to chair the Intercampus Student Council, which has representatives from all four University of Missouri campuses. He also served as the associate chief justice for the campus' Student Court.

From May to August 2006, Luetkemeyer was a domestic policy intern at the White House, conducting research and analysis on domestic policy issues.

"Representing student interests was a hallmark of my undergraduate experience at MU, and I am excited to continue that tradition," Luetkemeyer said.

Luetkemeyer succeeds Maria Curtis Kerford. The student representative attends all meetings of the Board of Curators as a non-voting participant.
