One of Ohio University’s numerous administrative searches ended Tuesday, when Student Affairs announced a new Executive Director of Residential Housing.
Student Affairs selected Peter Trentacoste, formerly the interim assistant vice president for Student Affairs at Northern Kentucky University, out of a pool four finalists announced April 17.
The search began after Christine Sheets, OU’s current executive director of Residential Housing, was promoted to assistant vice president for capital and facilities planning earlier this year.
Her salary of $108,896 will remain the same once she starts her new position.
Trentacoste will begin at OU on July 1, said Vice President for Student Affairs Kent Smith said in a statement.
“Pete has an extensive housing knowledge base, and we look forward to having him join our team,” Smith said.
The university paid search firm Spelman & Johnson a $17,000 fee to assist in compiling a pool of candidates.
