Over the last 10 months, Dan has led the incredibly talented UCM team across our three campuses during a truly momentous period for USF. From the announcement of our invitation to join the Association of American Universities, to the grand opening of the new Judy Genshaft Honors College building, and last month’s release of the first renderings for our future on-campus stadium, Dan and his team continue to raise the bar for telling the аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÄÚÄ»ÐÅÏ¢story, while strengthening our brand and reputation locally, nationally and globally.
 
Dan's steadfast leadership has been instrumental in maintaining momentum amid our recent achievements and upward trajectory. His unwavering commitment in the role will help ensure a future of continued success and growth.
 
Since joining аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÄÚÄ»ÐÅÏ¢in January 2022 as Associate Vice President for Advancement Communications and Marketing (ACM) as a member of Jay Stroman’s leadership team, Dan’s ACM team has consistently helped raise the expectations of our donors, alumni, and friends through numerous major gift announcements benefiting our students, faculty, patients, researchers and healthcare heroes; promoting key corporate and community partnerships; and reimagining the look and feel of аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÄÚÄ»ÐÅÏ¢Magazine.
 
Dan brings over 25 years of experience in higher education, digital communications and marketing, university advancement, content strategy and creation, and journalism to his new role. Before Dan, his wife Kaitlyn, and their three children moved to Tampa, he worked at The Ohio State University leading an Advancement Communications team that helped conclude a $3 billion campaign in 2016 and publicly launch another with the dual goals of $4.5 billion and one million donors three years later.  
 
Prior to joining OSU Advancement, Dan briefly served as a strategic communications advisor in the State of Ohio Office of Budget and Management after teaching in Ohio State’s School of Communication for five years. Before moving to Ohio, Dan worked as a journalist for a decade in Washington, D.C., culminating in a business editor position with The Associated Press. He earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism, cum laude, from American University in Washington and a master’s degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
 
Please join me in congratulating Dan and offering your continued support of the UCM team in their efforts to elevate our university’s storytelling, brand and reputation.
 
Sincerely,
 
Rhea F. Law
President
