UD’s Lekan named director at Wright State
Regis J. Lekan, a former University of Dayton director of development, has been named as director of planned giving at Wright State University.
Wright State announced Lekan’s appointment Tuesday, Feb. 23. In his new role, Lekan will visit alumni and friends of Wright State to discuss deferred giving programs.
Lekan’s position is newly created at Wright State, said Richard Doty, a university spokesman.
At UD, Lekan served as the director of development for gift planning, academic affairs and chapel renovation. He retired this month, according to Cilla Shindell, a UD spokeswoman.
“We are looking forward to welcoming Regis to our organization,” said Bryan Rowland, Wright State’s vice president for advancement. “He brings with him a great depth of knowledge and relationships. We will be fortunate to be the beneficiary of his vast experience in planned giving.”
Lekan, a Centerville resident, earned his bachelor’s degree from UD and a master’s in education from Cleveland State University.

Regis is one of the most upstanding, classiest guys I have ever worked with. UD’s loss is Wright State’s gain. Congrats to you Regis.

It is difficult to understand how UD could allow the loss of the book of work and years of cultivated relationships which Regis represents. UD was his life; he shared his enthusiasm and love for his Alma Mater wherever he went.

I had someone I know at UD ask if you were employed at WSU and at the time of the conversation you were not. This friend went on to say many kind and impressive things about you and specifically about how you go about your work. I wish you many great years at WSU! Go Raiders!
