AROUND THE QUADS

Lloyd Appointed to Newly Created Position

Emily Lloyd has been appointed to the newly created position of executive v.p. for government and community affairs, charged with strengthening Columbia’s relationships with community leaders and city, state and federal officials. Lloyd served as Columbia’s executive v.p. for administration for the past eight years.

“There’s more to be done on the community relations side,” President Lee C. Bollinger told Spectator after announcing Lloyd’s new position on January 24. “I really need a person who is solely focused on the community, New York City, Manhattan, and state relations and processes.”

Throughout her tenure at Columbia, Lloyd has worked to build ties and establish better and more timely communication about University planning and activities with community leaders. Since the departure of Alan Stone in 2001, she also has overseen Columbia’s government relations. In her new position, Lloyd will focus on further strengthening Columbia’s partnerships with governmental, community and other organizations, and will continue to play a leadership role in long-term campus planning.

Prior to coming to Columbia, Lloyd held a variety of positions in the public sector, including commissioner of sanitation for the City of New York, director of business development for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and commissioner of traffic and parking in Boston.

Robert Kasdin, who came to Columbia from Michigan with Bollinger and is senior executive v.p., will conduct the search for a successor to assume Lloyd’s former administrative responsibilities in the areas of campus services and facilities. Kasdin will oversee those areas for the short term, and Lloyd’s successor will report to him.
