"He was the only nominee and he was elected by unanimous consent," current University rector Thomas F. Farrell, II said, adding that the Board has a "high level of confidence in his abilities."
During his term as vice rector, Wynne will be responsible for assuming the rector's duties in the event of the rector's absence in addition to upholding his other commitments as a Board member.
According to a press release, Wynne was originally appointed to the Board in March of 2003.
