For the past year, Kimberly Osborne has served as the Interim Vice Chancellor for Strategic Communications. In this role and as a member of the University Communications team, Kimberly has led several University-wide marketing and communications efforts including the brand refresh, our 125th anniversary, COVID crisis communications, and the Next Generation Web Project. Since joining UNCG in 2017, she has been a vital voice in shaping UNCG and our story for years to come.
Kimberly is taking on a new role as Vice President for University Communications and Chief Marketing Officer at Old Dominion University and her last day with UNCG will be June 17. I have appreciated her willingness to step-in and lead University Communications and collaborate with key marketing units on campus to ensure our story is consistent and authentic.
I am pleased to share that Myla Edmond will serve as the next Interim Vice Chancellor for Strategic Communications. She will begin in early June and work with Kimberly to ensure a smooth transition. Myla joins us from the RW Jones Agency, where she serves as Senior Vice President, advising university clients on strategic marketing and branding. She was previously the Associate Vice President of Communications and Marketing at California State University, Dominguez Hills, and has over 17 years of higher education marketing and communications experience, including at Western Michigan University, the University of California System, and the University of Indianapolis.
Please join me in thanking and congratulating Kimberly and welcoming Myla.
Franklin D. Gilliam, Jr.
Chancellor
