See the link below. From the article:
”UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Lawrence Lokman, vice president for Strategic Communications, has announced he will depart Penn State at the end of October following eight years leading the University’s central marketing and public relations division.
With extensive media relations, brand positioning, issues management, agency and cause communications experience, Lokman has made a mark leading large-scale reputation-building, public affairs and cause marketing campaigns throughout his 30-year career. Before coming to Penn State in 2014, Lokman was associate vice chancellor in charge of communications at UCLA for eight years.
At Penn State, Lokman oversees the Office of Strategic Communications, an award-winning communications unit that encompasses branding and marketing, issues management and internal communications, proactive and social media, campus and community events, and licensing for the University. In his eight years at Penn State, Lokman has led a series of initiatives to transform the University’s communications function and to promote Penn State as a top-tier university by strengthening its brand and protecting the University’s reputation.”
And,
”Lokman has chosen to step down as he looks forward to his next venture that includes a possible return to the West Coast, where he is from and where his family resides.”
And,
”During his time at the University, Lokman has focused on elevating Penn State’s state and national reputation through the introduction of the University’s first dedicated proactive media relations team and integrated marketing and public relations storytelling campaigns. These efforts have raised visibility and support for the University’s work to drive economic development and quality of life and prepare students for success in communities across the state and beyond.”
I obviously don’t know if this is Neeli’s doing, but it seems that there have been a lot of personnel changes since her arrival. Lokman’s leaving may simply be his own decision given his family situation.
