“Dr. Reynolds brings the rare combination of strategic vision, institutional leadership and a relational approach to advancement,” said Dr. Bill Blocker, president of CBS. “He understands that strategy is how mission becomes priorities, programs and measurable progress. His experience will help CBS make wise decisions today while building the academic strength, relationships and financial sustainability needed for our next season of growth and impact.”
