[Important Information for Employees] Changes in the Office of the President

[Office of the President]

Dear Campus Community,

I am writing to share organizational changes being made within the Office
of the President. These come as we move toward more normal operations in
the fall, an adjustment I know we are all looking forward to.

   - Ken Knelly has been named chief of staff. After joining the college in
   2014 to lead marketing and communications, Ken moved to the Office of the
   President in 2017. He has continued to anchor college communications while
   taking on additional duties following the retirement of former chief of
   staff Keith Tyo in 2018. The position has been vacant since. Ken's
   strong organizational and analytical skills have helped me since my arrival
   and will continue to as we broaden campus and community relationships
   entering the next academic year.

   - The Office of Marketing, now under Institutional Advancement, will
   combine with campus communications and move in June to the Office of the
   President. The unit will continue to provide campus leadership in areas of
   market research, website, digital advertising and design, and student
   recruitment. We will also connect this work more tightly with
   communications and better advance the profile and brand of the college. With
   the move, we are eliminating a vacant staff assistant position that had
   existed in the Office of the President.

   - We will initiate a search for an executive director of strategic
   communications and marketing to lead this centralized team. This position
   will head efforts to tell our stories, reach across divisions, develop
   innovative digital marketing strategies, use a wide range of platforms
   including video, and assist in areas of media, campus and community
   relations.

Among my most critical tasks is to be clear, consistent and far-reaching in
communicating with you and those outside our campus community. It is
possibly the essential act of being a college president.

Sincerely,

Alexander Enyedi
President
