ADVANCEMENT V.P. APPOINTED AT ST. LAWRENCE

CANTON - St. Lawrence University President Daniel F. Sullivan has 
announced the appointment of Michael P. Archibald to the position 
of vice president for University advancement, pending approval by 
the Board of Trustees at its meeting on Saturday, February 9.
	Archibald has been interim vice president since August 
of 2001, when the late Linda Pettit left the vice presidency due 
to disability. A graduate of Colby College, Archibald began at 
St. Lawrence in 1991, as director of annual giving. While in that 
position, for six years, annual gifts for current operating 
purposes increased from $1.9 million in 1991 to $3.3 million in 
1997, the year he became director of major gifts. In that role, 
he has been an instrumental member of the team of staff, trustees 
and other volunteers who have worked together to increase capital 
and endowment gifts from $3 million in 1995-96 to $12.2 million 
last year.
	"I have full confidence that Mike Archibald has the 
leadership skills and the understanding of the University's mission 
and purposes to be a strong and effective contributing member of 
the senior management team," President Sullivan commented in a 
statement to the St. Lawrence community. 
	Archibald will be responsible for all institutional advancement 
activities, including fund-raising, alumni relations and University 
communications, including oversight of North Country Public Radio.
