Pamella A. Henson has been promoted to associate vice chancellor for alumni & development programs, announced David T. Blasingame, executive vice chancellor for alumni & development programs.
In 2005, she was promoted to assistant vice chancellor for alumni and development programs, charged with supervising the alumni and development programs for Hilltop Campus schools and serving as chief deputy to Richard J. Luze, interim associate vice chancellor and director of the national councils.
In her new role, Henson will continue to direct the Hilltop Campus schools’ development programs, and she has assumed responsibility for the offices of alumni relations, annual giving, parent programs, international programs and development communications.
“Pam’s excellent work has earned her the opportunity to undertake this new role,” Blasingame said.
“She is an exceptional administrator who has made, over her 13 years with Washington University, outstanding contributions in each of her assignments. She is held in high regard by her colleagues, volunteers and donors with whom she has worked.
“I am thankful Pam has agreed to assume these additional responsibilities.”
Luze, who has served as interim chief for these departments since September 2004, has returned to his role as assistant vice chancellor and executive director for the national councils.
“I am extraordinarily grateful for Rich’s leadership as interim associate vice chancellor,” Blasingame said.
“He has done a truly outstanding job in this important position, providing steady leadership and moving our programs forward during the transition period.”
