Brooks Hull, formerly the vice president of Institutional Advancement at Austin College in Sherman, Texas, has officially assumed leadership of Louisiana Tech University’s Division of University Advancement as its new vice president.
Hull, who will lead Louisiana Tech’s fundraising, development and alumni relations activities, was selected from a pool of outstanding candidates following an extensive national search. He will replace Corre Stegall, who retired in July after a distinguished 25-year career at Louisiana Tech as an English professor, alumni and development director, and vice president.
“I consider myself very privileged to assume this leadership position, particularly given the stature Louisiana Tech University enjoys in American higher education,” said Hull. “I am grateful and excited about working with the supportive and dedicated alumni, parents, and friends of the university who make the important work of the students, faculty, and staff so highly successful.”
As vice president of Institutional Advancement at Austin College, Hull led a staff of nearly two dozen, responsible for institutional fundraising, alumni relations, marketing and communications. He developed and implemented a comprehensive development program, resulting in 129 percent increase in outright gifts since 2011. During his tenure, the college also experienced an increase to estate gifts by 61 percent and participation by 14 percent.
