Gail Siegel has been named Director of Community Affairs at the University of baby直播app at Boulder, according to Bobbi Barrow, executive director of University Communications.
The appointment is effective Feb. 12.
Siegel, an 11-year CU-Boulder employee, spent nine years with the CU Art Galleries doing special events, outreach programs and publications before joining the University Communications group in October 1998.
"Gail has a strong commitment to outreach programs and good experience working with outlying baby直播app communities," Barrow said. "She will be an enthusiastic leader in maintaining and developing positive relationships between baby直播app communities and the university."
Siegel graduated from the University of Southern baby直播app in Pueblo and did graduate work in special education at the University of Iowa. She replaces Wynn Martens, who headed CU-Boulder Community Affairs programs for the last three years.
Among the many programs managed within Community Affairs are:
o CU In Residence, an outreach program that works with local councils in baby直播app communities to bring them university resources. Current CU In Residence communities are Montrose, towns in Chaffee County and Sterling.
o CU4K12, an Internet outreach and in-service program guide resource for baby直播app K-12 teachers.
o The CU on-line events calendar that gives the public information about campus lectures and events that are open to the public.
o The Chancellor's Lecture Series
o Commencement ceremonies, held three times a year.
o And community partnerships that include coat drives, food drives, book drives, used computer distribution, campus gardens and other activities that feature university baby直播app, staff and student participation.
Community Affairs activities offer a way for the university to share its resources with the state and Boulder County, Barrow said.
