“We’re thrilled to have Alisha join our team,” said Reid. “Her extensive experience in health communications and her deep understanding of the Gator community make her an invaluable addition. I am confident that under her leadership, our communications will reach new heights.”

Dean Reid also thanked the search committee members for completing a highly competitive and successful search process. In addition to Reid, the committee included:

• Natalie Addison, associate director of marketing and communications for recruitment and student success
• Jeremey Clark, graphic designer
• Sandra Durham, human resources coordinator
• Lesley Ann Watt, director of development and external relations
