First, Josh Flynt 11 has been promoted from Program Director to Assistant Director, Marketing Communications. In this new position, he will have two direct reports—Josh Stowe, Writer/Editor, and Jackie Thomas, Young Alumni Program Director. He and his team will lead our executive communications, marketing copywriting, storytelling (video and print), and student and young alumni engagement, including shepherding our new Young ND board. He will also co-lead the communications needs for the myND3 initiative, our deployment of a new affinity community engagement platform; direct marketing needs for all of our affinity communities (ND Women Connect, Diversity Council, Senior Alumni, etc); as well as direct our creative work for UND Celebrations.
Second, Chris Palmquist ’13, an alum from Minneapolis, will become Assistant Director, Engagement Marketing. Chris will be joining our marketing team on August 19. Chris will have one direct report—Grace Morrison, Digital Specialist. Together, they will lead our social media strategy. Chris will also direct marketing for Football Fridays, Shamrock Series/bowls, Reunion, Alumni Education, and Spirituality/Service. Finally, he will host a number of our “Catching Up With” interviews during Football Fridays and provide some light video production. Chris currently serves as Media Coordinator with the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy, a nonprofit with the mission to help set policy and practice to ensure fair and sustainable food, farm and trade systems. There he directs their social outreach, media affairs, writing/editing, videography, and general marketing needs.
