Ottawa University announced the hiring of Brian Sandusky as its new vice president of university enrollment Monday.

Sandusky was actively recruited from Bellevue University in Omaha, Neb., where he was the associate vice president of enrollment management and vice president of strategic initiatives, according to a press release.

Sandusky earned his doctorate from Northcentral University in 2005.

“We are delighted to welcome Dr. Sandusky in a pivotal role in our university,” Ottawa President Kevin Eichner said in a statement.

During Sandusky’s tenure at Bellevue, enrollment grew from 6,000 students to 8,000.
