Bill also spent 18 years of his professional life in the Chancellor’s Office, initially as vice chancellor of personnel and administration and later serving as interim chancellor. He received an honorary doctorate from PSU in 2004. Mary Coniglio, director of Alumni Relations, is celebrating her 18th year at Portland State.
