Indiana Gov. Mike Braun appointed three new trustees to the Indiana University Board of Trustees Tuesday, according to a press release. The new trustees will be Marilee Springer, Isaac White and Dr. David Hormuth, all IU alumni.
The appointments follow the expiration of the terms of three outgoing trustees: Cathy Langham, vice chair Cindy Lucchese and student trustee Kyle Seibert. Their terms ended June 30.
Who are the new trustees?
Marilee Springer is a nonprofit lawyer and current partner at the firm Faerge Drinker Biddle and Reath. She graduated from IU McKinney School of Law with a J.D. in law in 1996.
“Springer serves as outside general counsel to her clients, providing concierge-level service to tax-exempt organizations, social impact entities, donors and high-net-worth families, and quasi-governmental entities,” her website reads.
Braun appointed her to the Indiana Efficiency and Modernization Transition Council in November 2024, a board dedicated to streamlining public spending.
Isaac White is an honors student studying finance, real estate and economics at the Kelley School of Business at IU Indianapolis, according to his LinkedIn profile.
White is also a staffer for Rep. Jefferson Shreve (R) of Indiana’s 6th congressional district. He lists his position on LinkedIn as “special assistant” to Shreve’s office.
White, currently a junior, will serve as student trustee. The student trustee position, formerly a two-year position, was reduced to one year in the April state budget bill that also gave Braun complete control over the IU Board of Trustees.
Dr. David Hormuth is a cardiothoracic surgeon who graduated from IU with a medical degree in 1983 and received an M.B.A in business of medicine from IU in 2015.
