MILWAUKEE — Marquette University’s Board of Trustees elected three new members at its Sept. 21 meeting. The new trustees are Joanna Bauza, president of The Cervantes Group; Tim Bergstrom, president and chief operating officer of Bergstrom Automotive; and John Underwood, managing director at Goldman Sachs.

The company was recognized in 2011 by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest growing private companies and was also named one of the “Top Hispanic or Latino-run Companies on the Inc. 5000” that same year.
Originally from Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, Bauza was the No. 1 ranked Puerto Rican women’s tennis player for more than five years, three-time MVP of Marquette University’s women’s tennis team, which she led to its first NCAA Tennis Championship her senior year.
