Friday, September 11, 2015 The Baylor Lariat News 3 Baylor welcomes VP of development

EMMA KING Staff Writer

David Rosselli, the executive director of institutional advancement at the University of Southern California, will be joining the Baylor family as vice president of university development on Nov. 2. The search for the new vice president of university development began in February, after the previous position holder, Ken Hall, was fired unexpectedly and without much university comment in November 2014. On Thursday, Baylor President and Chancellor Ken Starr extended his gratitude to the search committee, chaired by his chief of staff Tommye Lou Davis, for discovering Rosselli. Tribune News Service “They graciously gave their time and tal- ents to assist the university in finding a su- perb candidate for this important leadership position,” Starr said.
