Gov. Scott Walker announced the appointments of two students to the UW Board of Regents Wednesday, his first appointees to the governing body of the 26-campus University of Wisconsin System. Katie Pointer, 19, will be a UW-Madison student this fall after spending one year studying political science, public administration and finance at UW-La Crosse. Troy Sherven, of Oregon, is a student at UW-Stout, continuing his education after 20 years of work. Sherven, 36, will serve a one-year term, filling a vacant seat of the non-traditional student representative.
