Staffing Changes for Pamplin Career Services

This week, Pamplin Career Services has made a couple of staffing changes to better serve our students and employers.

Effective immediately, Stuart Mease will lead student recruiting, student success programs and student career services as the Executive Director for Student Advancement and Career Services.

Additionally, Emily Africa is now the Associate Director for Student Recruiting and will be responsible for increasing total applications and yields of all incoming students. She will retain her past duties as the Diversity Recruitment Coordinator.

With the departure of Renee Cloyd, as the Director of Student Success Programs (LEAP, PUMP and Business Explorations), our interim leader of this function will be Kelly Queijo. A search to find a permanent replacement will begin immediately.

Finally, a search will begin immediately to back-fill the day-to-day operations of Pamplin Career Services and serve as the Associate Director of Career Services.

We believe these staffing changes will only enhance the quality, quantity and diversity of the talent you have come to enjoy recruiting in the Pamplin College of Business.

If you are interested in one of the vacant positions or know someone who is, please contact Stuart Mease (smease@vt.edu).
