Houston Business Journal, May 10, 2007 GALVESTON - As expected, the University of Texas System Board of Regents has appointed Dr. David Callender as the new president of the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. Callender, who on April 16 was named the sole finalist for the post following a national search, becomes that institution's fifth president since it was established in 1891. He succeeds Dr. John Stobo, who last year announced he would step down Aug. 31. Callender's appointment as president designate is effective July 1, for a two-month transition period working with Stobo. (This story appeared in business journals throughout the U.S.)
