Meet the new communications coordinator
|
|
Greetings!
I am so happy to have joined the Office of the Vice President for Research as communications coordinator in June. Now that I have a solid six weeks under my belt, I wanted to (electronically) introduce myself to those whom I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting.
I am from a small town near Wichita — points if you remember the F5 tornado that came through my hometown in 1990 — and came to Manhattan to attend K-State at the dismay of my Husker-fan father. I graduated with a degree in journalism and mass communication and as my (now) husband already worked for the university, we decided to stay in MHK. Years later (I won't say how many) we couldn't be happier to call it home.
We have two boys, eight and five, and two dogs who keep us very busy, not to mention a yard and landscaping that seems to always need attention! I enjoy reading, knitting and babying my indoor plants — ask me about my fiddle leaf fig!
For the past four years, I worked as a client manager at the Division of Communications and Marketing. In this role, I worked closely with the OVPR and my predecessor in this role. That position gave me many opportunities to learn about and leverage resources that the university has to offer in the way of strategic communications and planning. I know I have big shoes to fill in this role, but look forward to learning from and working with you all.
If we haven't met, please feel free to stop by 102 Anderson the next time you're in the building!
All the best,
Erin Pennington
