The University of Minnesota Alumni Association — a body that advocates for the University with the support of graduates —elected a new chair to its Board of Directors.
Daniel McDonald, a partner at the intellectual property law firm Merchant & Gould, assumed his new role on July 1, becoming the 80th Alumni Association chair in the organization’s 112-year history.
McDonald received an electrical engineering degree from the University in 1982 and a law degree from the Law School in 1985.
