Gov. Mike Pence appointed local auto dealer Andy Mohr to the Indiana University board of trustees today.

Mohr, who owns several car dealerships in Indianapolis, Avon, Plainfield and Fishers, will serve a three-year term on the nine-member board. He joins the board after Chairman Thomas Reilly and member William Cast announced their retirements.

Pence also appointed Michael Mirro, chief academic research officer for Parkview Health System, to the board, and IU alumni this week re-appointed trustee Pat Shoulders.
