John Delaney appointed Ann McCullen to be the Interim Vice President of Institutional Affairs and the Interim Executive Director of the UNF Foundation, temporarily filling Pierre Allaire’s old position until a long-term replacement can be found.

The nationwide search will start in the next few weeks to find a permanent Vice President, McCullen said.

McCullen has worked for the university for 10 years, most recently as the Assistant Vice President of Development and as Campaign Director.

Delaney said he chose McCullen because of her long-term service at UNF and because she successfully directed the Power of Transformation fundraising campaign.

“I look forward to working with the President and Foundation Board,” McCullen said. “[The Department of Institutional Advancement] will continue to do the work that we do while the search is underway.”

The Office of Institutional Advancement is responsible for raising about $1 million dollars every month, Delaney said. This funding comes from corporations and alumni.
