Development Director
I am pleased to announce that Ms. Mary L. Hollens will be serving as Director of Development. Following an extensive search over the past 5 months, with the input of the Law School, the central Advancement Office selected Ms. Hollens for this important role. A graduate of Columbia State University, Hollens has also attended Wayne State University. She has worked as Director of Development for the Wayne State University Nursing School for the past five and a half years. She successfully increased annual giving from the low six figures to more than $1 million during that time. She just organized a wonderful Lifelines Award dinner honoring the late Dr. Rachel Boone Keith, wife of the Honorable Damon J. Keith, attracting hundreds to support an effort to name part of the Nursing School for Dr. Keith. Please join me in welcoming Ms. Hollens, who begins service on October 1, 2007.
