MADISON, Wis. – Gov. Jim Doyle appointed a University of Wisconsin-Parkside English major as the newest student representative on the UW System Board of Regents Wednesday.
Christopher Semenas will replace Beth Richlen, a UW-Madison law student, according to Doyle’s office. Her term expired in May.
Semenas, of Rosendale, is the first student regent appointed from UW-Parkside, Doyle said. He’s a fourth-year student, majoring in English and history.
He served as the president of the Parkside Student Government Association and legislative issues director for the Student Government Association. He currently works as an events assistant on campus.
