Seattle University names former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan as the Vice President for Communications. McClellan will begin his appointment at the university on September 17, 2012. In his new role McClellan will be responsible for the creation, implementation and oversight of its communications and marketing strategy.  

“Scott is an accomplished media specialist and public affairs strategist who brings a wealth of communications experience to our university community,” says Father Sundborg. “We look forward to the many contributions he will make as we continue to elevate our regional, national and international profile.”                                                          

McClellan, whose family has a long history in higher education, said he recently started exploring leadership positions at universities for the same reason he first went to work in politics: to serve and make a positive difference in the world.
