Blasingame promoted to executive vice chancellor David T. Blasingame, vice chancellor for alumni and development programs, has been promoted to executive vice chancellor in recognition of his leadership and for his success in executing the Campaign for Washington University that se: cured more than $1.5 billion and much visibility for the Univer- sity's academic programs during the last nine years. The announcement was made by Chancellor Mark S. Wrighton. "David Blasingame's skillful management of our highly suc- cessful campaign deserves recog- nition, and I believe this promo- tion reflects our gratitude for a job extraordinarily well done," Wrighton said. "He and his team have built an exceptional pro- gram of volunteer leaders and a record-setting number of donors whose support has provided the University with much-needed resources. "Beyond his leadership of the campaign, David Blasingame is an invaluable future contributor to the advance of the University. He is a powerful advocate for the academic enterprise, and he is a key member of the University Council." Under his new title as execu- tive vice chancellor, Blasingame will continue his current respon- sibilities for all development activities for all schools of the University, as well as for alumni and parent relations.
