Mica Stark, chief communications officer at the University of New Hampshire, has joined Brodeur Partners to bolster the Boston-based firm’s higher education offering.
At UNH, Stark led a 35-member team doing media relations, executive communications, branding, advocacy, crisis PR, social media and governmental outreach.
He also served as the school’s associate VP-communications and public affairs.
Andrea Coville, Brodeur CEO and UNH alumnae said Stark “has a unique ability to synthesize complex issues and communicate them to a variety of audiences in ways that resonate.”
To successfully navigate a higher education landscape in which the level of scrutiny is constantly rising, university presidents need to establish a consistent framework for determining when an official response is—and is not—required. 
Leigh Whitaker will return to the University of Pennsylvania on Oct. 1 as VP for government and community affairs.
Temple University has named Brian Keech VP-government & community relations after a national search.
Maine’s Bowdoin College has named NYU Abu Dhabi's Martin Mbugua senior VP-communications and PA. He takes the spot on August 1.
