Hayes appointed Vice President for Administration and Finance/CFO
Nancy K. Hayes, who has served as interim vice president for administration and finance and chief financial officer while a search for a successor to Leroy Morishita has been underway, will continue in the role. "I am delighted that Nancy has agreed to stay on as vice president through the remainder of my tenure and until a new vice president is appointed," President Corrigan said. "She has served the University with distinction in this role, and we are delighted to benefit from her continued leadership."

Hayes' appointment follows an extensive search for a successor to Morishita, which was ultimately unsuccessful. The search committee will renew the search once a new president has been named.

Submitting events to CampusMemo
CampusMemo picks up event listings directly from the University Calendar. Departments interested in publicizing an event in CampusMemo simply need to register the event on the University Calendar by 10 a.m. on Wednesday of the previous week. To submit an event, go to www.sfsu.edu/calendar/ and click on "Submit an Event" in the left-hand navigation bar. This procedure saves event sponsors the extra step of entering information specifically for CampusMemo, and the later deadline for submittal allows more time for event sponsors to submit their items to CampusMemo.
