Nunnally to step down

Vice President for Development and Alumni Relations Jerry Nunnally will be stepping down from his position this month.

In a January 29 memo to the Caltech community, President David Baltimore said, “I am writing with an intense sense of personal regret to notify you that after almost ten years at Caltech, Jerry Nunnally will be stepping down as Vice President for Development and Alumni Relations, effective February 15, 2002. Having set in place the structure for the Institute’s forthcoming capital campaign, Jerry has decided that he would prefer not to take on operational responsibility for this enterprise. With the campaign kick-off planned for this fall, we both agreed that it would be best to make a change now, rather than in the midst of the public phase of this major fund-raising activity.”

Baltimore said that Nunnally will maintain a consulting relationship with the Institute, and that the two will continue to work together “closely” on some major fund-raising projects.

“Over the past decade, Jerry has been an integral part of the Caltech community—unvaryingly sharing his quiet counsel, kind touch, and love of Caltech with Trustees, faculty, staff, and students, as well as neighbors, donors, and friends,” Baltimore said. “I am sure that the entire Caltech community wishes Jerry all the best.”

Until Nunnally’s successor is found, Vice President for Public Relations Bob O’Rourke will also serve as acting vice president for development and alumni relations. He will temporarily move his office to 103 Dabney, ext. 6214, in order to be more centrally located for coordinating both the public relations and development departments.
