Duquesne University has appointed a new director of risk management, Jennifer S. Fink, who was most recently an attorney fellow in the University of Pittsburgh's Office of General Counsel.

Fink began work Monday as associate legal counsel overseeing the Office of Compliance and Risk Management at Duquesne.

At Pitt, Fink said, she gained experience in a variety of legal issues facing colleges and universities. Her new job will focus more on preventive practice, she said.
