COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Former U.S. surgeon general Vivek Murthy is returning to the board of directors at the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee. This will be Murthy's second stint on the 18-person board. He was last on the USOPC board from 2020-21, when he stepped down to resume his role as surgeon general, a job he also held during the Obama administration. Murthy joins Purdue president Mung Chiang on the board and the USOPC is still looking for someone to fill out the term of John Naber, an athlete-elected member who stepped down last year.
