COLUMBIA – University of Missouri System Board of Curators Chairman Warren Erdman announced Tuesday that Timothy M. Wolfe will serve as the system’s 23rd president, ending a year-long search to replace Gary Forsee.
Wolfe, who graduated from MU’s Trulaske College of Business, has more than 30 years of business experience, including a stint with IBM.
Forsee stepped down last January to tend to his ill wife. General counsel Steve Owens replaced him on an interim basis, and he will revert to his old duties when Wolfe takes over in mid-February.
Wolfe is a native of Columbia and graduated from Rock Bridge High School, where he led his football team to a state title as the quarterback.
