All Penn State trustees running for reelection to the university board this year have retained their seats, the university announced Friday afternoon.
Those reelected include alumni-selected trustees Joel Myers, Jesse Arnelle and Marianne Alexander. Myers garnered the most votes (7,610), with Arnelle coming in second (5,654) and Alexander in third (5,261). A total of 11,634 alumni voted in the race.
Alumni-selected trustees serve three-year terms. The reelected members will begin their new terms in July. This year marked the first time the university conducted the alumni-trustee-seat elections entirely electronically. Alumni without Internet access were given an option to vote by phone.
Agriculture-representing trustees Betsy Huber and Keith Masser have been reelected this year, as well, along with industry-representing trustees Linda Strumpf and James Broadhurst, board Chairman Steve Garban said.
All the election results were announced at the board’s regular meeting, held at the Nittany Lion Inn, on the University Park campus. The board, the university’s highest leadership group, counts more than 30 members.
