MacArthur Foundation Appoints New President

Mr. Gallucci, 63, is currently dean of Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service, in Washington, but previously spent 21 years working in the federal government.

During the Clinton administration, he served in the State Department and oversaw how the Dayton Peace Accords took effect. That agreement ended a three-year war in the former Yugoslavia. He also led efforts to stem the proliferation of ballistic missiles and weapons of mass destruction.
