"After three years in Washington, D.C., I am ecstatic to return to the Valley and Fresno Pacific-a place that has been so formative in my life. I look forward to working in Christian higher education, deepening connections and serving the wonderful Fresno Pacific alumni," she said.

Liz Garvin, vice president for advancement and executive director of the FPU Foundation, is just as enthusiastic to add Schlesselman to her staff. "The Advancement Office is thrilled to have Morgan back at FPU! We know she will keep our Sunbirds posted on all the FPU is up to," she said.
