We are pleased to announce that Kwan Choi, a professor of economics at Iowa State University, was appointed Trustee of URANTIA Foundation in March 1997. Kwan replaces Philip Rolnick who resigned from the Board last year. Kwan and his wife Kathy moved from Korea to the United States in 1972. They have three boys, aged 13, 18, and 20, two of whom are readers. Kwan and Kathy have been students of The URANTIA Book for over 20 years. Kwan is the editor of two economic journals. Kwan says, "I try to practice the teachings of The URANTIA Book in my profession. When selecting articles for publication, I, with the help of colleagues, try to eliminate all kinds of bias and discrimination."
In these times of internationalization of the Urantia movement, Kwan, as an Asian and an economist, adds another element of diversity to the Board.
