She will succeed the retiring Bill Murphy on Aug. 1 as VP for communications for the top research university of 10,500 students.
Stauderman, who graduated from Yale's college and law school, held Yale's top PR post for the past four years and installed its first strategic comms. plan. She succeeded Coca-Cola PR alum Tom Mattia in 2011 after he overhauled the university's communications.
Rochester president Joel Seligman called the hire a "ten-strike," noting her experience managing Yale's "complex communications systems." She will oversee institutional comms., creative, media relations, web/social media, periodicals, photography and videography, and the Futurity.org news service collaboration with Duke and Stanford Universities.
Stauderman is a former associate dean for external affairs at the Univ. of Richmond Law School and held several posts among Yale's institutions, including director of PA for the law school and divinity school.
The departing Murphy joined Rochester in 2006 as VP for comms. from the Univ. of Chicago.
