CRAWFORD DEPARTS FOR MARYLAND


Reid W. Crawford, vice president for external affairs, has 
been named vice president for institutional advance-ment at 
the University of Maryland, College Park. He also will serve 
as vice president of the University of Maryland Foundation 
Inc.

Crawford will assume his new position at the University of 
Maryland next week. He will oversee the offices of alumni 
programs, development, special events, university 
publications and university relations.

"This is a wonderful opportunity for Reid, and I wish him the 
best," President Martin Jischke said. "We are very grateful 
to him for his many years of service to Iowa State 
University."

Jischke said he hoped to name an interim vice president by 
the end of this week and will appoint a committee by mid-
September to conduct a national search for a successor.

Crawford has been at Iowa State for 14 years. Since 1991, he 
has served as vice president for external affairs, overseeing 
several university units, including Athletics, University 
Relations, the Iowa State University Foundation, WOI AM-FM 
Radio, University Museums, the Alumni Association, and the 
Iowa State Center. Prior to his vice presidency, Crawford was 
the university's legal adviser from 1981 to 1994, and 
assistant to the president from 1981 to 1991. From 1973 to 
1981, he was a state representative in the Iowa House.
