The newest addition to The University of New Haven’s administrative staff is Dean J. Golembeski, who took on the position of Associate Vice President for Communications and Public Affairs in the Advancement department.

Golembeski will be responsible for increasing public awareness for the University, which includes planning, organizing and marketing communications such as alumni relations. Golembeski’s primary goal is to get UNH’s name out to a larger public by working together with his colleagues.

He will be more than fit for the job as his last job was at the Jefferson National Accelerator Facility as a Public Affairs Manager, one of only 17 in the country as part of the U.S. Department of Energy. His preceding job to was at the Connecticut State University System as the Director of Public Relations. His enthusiasm lies in public relations, which gives Gombleski rich resources to better organize and market the university’s brand.

As a Connecticut native, with experience in higher education, he will find comfort quickly at UNH. In fact, Golembeski worked in the higher education field for 12 years and said, “UNH caught my attention because it’s a dynamic and growing University that’s doing interesting things and is on an upward trajectory. Many good things are waiting to happen for the university in the future.”

Golembeski conducted his undergraduate studies in Journalism at Washington Lee University and his graduate studies at Ohio State University. Along with his family, he is happy to return to Connecticut and continue his career at a distinguished institution such as UNH.
