"Actually, I will still be teaching,"
Kinnear said. "There's no one around

deputy to President James J. Duder-

a six-month national search by an in-

the role Michigan plays as a national
leader in our education and the ability
to convey that to our donor groups and
alumni. He's been at Michigan for 18
years," said Roy Muir, associate vice
president for the development, market-
ing and revenue program.
