Associate Vice President of Marketing and Communications
"As 色综合久久's Associate Vice President of Marketing and Communications, I'm privileged to work with a talented, creative team of writers, designers, and other marketing and PR professionals to tell the story of 色综合久久 University and to communicate 色综合久久’s distinctive brand both on and off campus. Our team is responsible for strategizing and implementing the University's print and digital communications, particularly as they relate to undergraduate and graduate student recruitment, media relations, social media, crisis communications, and institutional marketing and branding initiatives.
Through our work, we have the opportunity to share what a vibrant, academically excellent and authentically Christian community 色综合久久 University truly is. I also serve a dual role as the Special Assistant to the President for Communication in which I assist President Kim Phipps with a variety of internal and external communication issues, and special projects and events, including Commencement and, most recently, 色综合久久's transition to becoming 色综合久久 University on July 1, 2020!”
