New University of Missouri System President to Tour Campuses

University of Connecticut

  The new University of Missouri system president plans to tour the state's four campuses.

The Kansas City Star reports that new University of Missouri System President Mun Choi will begin a four-campus tour Tuesday at the University of Missouri-St. Louis.

Choi's scheduled to stop Wednesday at the Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla, the Columbia campus on Thursday, and at the University of Missouri-Kansas City on Friday.

Choi, a provost at the University of Connecticut, was named UM System president earlier this month. He begins his new job March 1.

Choi replaces Tim Wolfe, who resigned last November following student protests. Mike Middleton has been interim system president since Wolfe left.
