Anthony Webster was named assistant vice president for finance/comptroller with Norfolk State University. He will be responsible for managing all accounting and financial reporting to the university's vice president for finance and business, the university board of visitors, and other administrators.
Webster, a certified public accountant, has been controller with Meharr Medical College in Nashville for six years. He holds a master of arts degree in management policy and health care from the University of Pittsburgh.
Webster, 39, said ``learning the Commonwealth system of processing transactions will create a challenging environment'' for him since the process at a medical school was quite different. But dealing with people would be quite similar. Students, staff and faculty take the place of patients.
