Brazda Named Interim Vice President for Public Relations

Bernie Machen, President

I have appointed Chris Brazda as interim vice president for public relations effective July 1. He currently serves as assistant vice president of public relations for the University of Florida Foundation.

Chris brings 20 years of industry experience to the post. He has been with the university since 1997, when he began directing public relations activities for the foundation. He coordinated the public relations program for UF’s most recent capital campaign, ended in Dec. 2000, which raised a total of $850.4 million in commitments and pledges.

Please join me in thanking Chris Brazda for his willingness to assume this important responsibility.
