Jill Hungsberg has been named senior director of communications and marketing at Union College following a national search. The job had been vacant since 2006.
Hungsberg will oversee the Office of Communications, whose responsibilities include media and public relations, publications, the alumni magazine, the College’s Web site and the Chronicle, a weekly internal newsletter.
A native of Indiana, Hungsberg joined Union part-time in June as a special projects manager. Before that, she was a marketing manager for SIRVA, a global relocation company based in Chicago.
Hungsberg also has held marketing positions at General Mills and Target. In addition, she has served as a consultant for several Fortune 500 companies, non-profits and educational institutions. She was an adjunct faculty member in the marketing department at Lewis University’s College of Business in Chicago.
“We are pleased to have someone with Jill’s expertise and leadership skills join the College,” said Stephen Dare, vice president for College Relations. “It’s clear to me that ‘communications’ and the ‘marketing of Union’ will have a role for everyone across campus, and we look forward to Jill’s talents in leading that effort.”
Hungsberg has a bachelor’s in English and French from the University of Virginia and a master’s of business administration in marketing and finance from the J.L. Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
