ɫӰ’s Board of Trustees has elected two new members: Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Anne K. McKeig ‘89 and Christine W. Moore.

Anne McKeig, ’89, a Minnesota Supreme Court Justice, is the first Native American to serve on the Court and was appointed by Governor Mark Dayton in June of 2016. Prior to her Supreme Court appointment, Justice McKeig served as a district court judge in the Fourth Judicial District, and was the presiding judge in the Fourth District’s Family Court. She previously worked as an assistant Hennepin County attorney in the Child Protection Division for over 16 years, where she specialized in Indian Child Welfare cases.

Justice McKeig is currently an adjunct professor at Mitchell Hamline School of Law, past chair and current board member of the Board of the Division of Indian Work, and is a frequent speaker at many local and national conferences on the issue of Indian Child Welfare. A member of the White Earth Ojibwe tribe, she earned a bachelor of arts in English from St. Catherine in 1989 and her J.D. from Hamline University School of Law in 1992.

“We are honored that Anne has agreed to join the St. Catherine Board of Trustees,” said President ReBecca Koenig Roloff ’76, MBA. “She exemplifies the very best of what a ‘Katie’ is, and what a ‘Katie’ can do to lead and influence the world.”

“Judge Anne McKeig is a wonderful addition to our board,” said Board Chair Margaret Ford ’82. “We welcome her home to plan for a strong and joyful future for our University.”
