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.
