Andrea Morris, who currently serves as the Chief Development Officer, will lead Office of Development and Alumni. Corey Hogan, who currently serves as the Chief Communications Officer, will lead the Office of Communications and Community Engagement. Current Vice-President, Advancement, James Allan will be leaving the university and I want to thank him for his service and dedication to the University of Calgary.
