Wendy Scott Keeney, the executive director for development on the East Coast for the University of Michigan, was named president of the UNH Foundation. UNH President Ann Weaver Hart says Keeney brings "strong and energetic leadership to this important position." Keeney previously served as assistant dean of development and external relations for the College of Literature, Science and the Arts, also at Michigan. She was closely involved with Michigan's first major fund-raising campaign in the 1990s, which had a goal of $850 million. By the campaign's conclusion, $1.34 billion had been raised.
