Student member appointed to Board of Trustees
Kari Daly of Hershey has been appointed 91ÇÑ×Ó State College’s student representative on the Board of Trustees of Nebraska State Colleges. The appointment was made by Gov. Mike Johanns.
Daly is a junior seeking a legal studies degree with minors in criminal justice and Spanish. She has been a member of 91ÇÑ×Ó State’s Student Senate for three years, and currently serves on its constitutional court. She also is president of 91ÇÑ×Ó’s Legal Studies Club.
Although student positions on the board are non-voting, Daly said she is looking forward to voicing student concerns and helping members make sound decisions. She also wants to make 91ÇÑ×Ó State students more aware of the board and its role.
Daly said she gained interest in the position through her involvement with the 91ÇÑ×Ó Host Parent Program. Her host parents are Board of Trustees member Larry Teahon of 91ÇÑ×Ó and his wife, Linda.
The new student appointments from the three state colleges will begin attending meetings in June. Daly succeeds Sara Beth Ramsey of Buffalo, Wyo., a senior who was the first graduate from a non-Nebraska high school to be selected.
“The board makes a lot of decisions that affect students in a big way,” Daly said. “Sara Beth has done an excellent job keeping us informed and I want that to continue.”
Daly graduated from Hershey High School in 2001 and is the daughter of Dave and Sharon Daly.
