It is with great sadness that we bid farewell to David Willis, who passed away in May 2020. David, the son-in-law of the School’s third President, Bruce Lansdale, began working at the School in 1978, serving as the Associate Director for Administration and later as the lead for the USAID grants program.
He maintained close ties with the School throughout his life, and in June 2019 he released a book honoring his father-in-law, The Sower: Bruce M. Lansdale. David will be remembered for his compassion and warmth, and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
