FAMU attorney and interim Title III Compliance Officer Rosalind Fuse-Hall has a new job. President of Bennett College, a private, all-women's school in Greensboro, North Carolina.

The college announced Monday that Fuse-Hall will become the school’s 17th president July 1.

 A graduate of  UNC-Chapel Hill, Fuse-Hall earned her law degree at Rutgers University. She has also worked in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s New York office.

Fuse-Hall followed Ammons to Florida A&M in 2007 when he was named president. She stayed on after his resignation last July following the aftermath of the hazing death of a school band drum major.
