Appointment of Director, Capital Planning & Budgeting

I am delighted to announce the appointment of Brian D. Gregory as Director
of Capital Planning & Budgeting. Mr. Gregory assumed his position on
March 1, 1999.

A graduate of the Ph.D. program in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies
at Arizona State University, Mr. Gregory comes with extensive training in
higher education administration. Most recently, he served as the Assistant
Executive Director for Capital Resources for the Board of Regents - State of
Arizona. Previously, Mr. Gregory assisted the Executive Director of the
Commission for Postsecondary Education - State of Arizona, and worked as an
Educational Statistician at the U.S. Department of Education, National
Center for Education Statistics. Mr. Gregory is experienced in developing
strategies for advancing higher education capital improvement projects and
brings a unique planning perspective to his new role.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Judith O'Boyle for serving as
Interim Director during the search process. Her contributions during this
period, especially toward the planning of the Preuss School at UCSD, are
greatly appreciated.

Please join me in welcoming Mr. Gregory to his new position.
