PROVIDENCE – Johnson & Wales University has appointed Joseph L. Staley to a new position: vice chancellor for resource development.
Staley, who will be responsible for all fundraising and alumni relations activity, was most recently president and CEO of the Mystic, Conn., fundraising consulting firm StaleyRobeson. He also is a past board member and officer of the Giving Institute and a member of the Connecticut chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals.
JWU Chancellor John Bowen said Staley was hired as a way to help “ramp up its resources in fundraising in order to increase scholarship dollars for our students.” The goal is to keep education at the university affordable and accessible, he said.
The university also has named two new deans to its College of Management.
Louis D’Abrosca has been appointed the dean of the college’s School of Business. In 1986, D’Abrosca became the founding dean of the JWU Graduate School. He was later named dean of academic administration, and then held dual positions for the university, serving as both dean of academic administration and dean of continuing education.
Paul McVety is now dean of the college’s School of Hospitality. He was previously the dean of academic program development in the office of the provost, and has served as dean of culinary academics in the College of Culinary Arts.
Billye Webb Auclair has been named associate provost. She was most recently the vice president for academic affairs at Anna Maria College in Paxton, Mass., and had held that same post previously at the University of St. Joseph in West Hartford, Conn.
The university also named Jack Warner a full-time associate professor in the educational leadership doctoral program. He was most recently the executive director and CEO of the South Dakota Board of Regents, and had served as Rhode Island’s commissioner of higher education from 2002 to 2009.
