Former New York Daily News reporter Martin Mbugua has been named Princeton University’s spokesman, following a shuffling of the school’s communications unit.

Mbugua (BOO-gwah) takes over the key media relations post from Emily Aronson, who held the spokeswoman position on an interim basis and moves to a new post as campus life writer and special projects assistant. Former spokeswoman Cass Cliatt was promoted to direct news and editorial services last year.
Mbugua joins the school from the Murphy Institute of the City of New York, where he was communications and marketing manager.
His higher ed PR experience includes a six-year stint as senior news editor for the University of Delaware, where he was spokesman. He moved there after six years at the Daily News, managing the paper’s crime and police reporting, including its coverage of the Sept. 11 attacks.
