Office for Marketing and Communications Update
Dear Colleagues:
Chris Maio joined our campus community in spring of 2023 and has served as our chief marketing and communications officer, bringing to Farmingdale
State College extensive experience in communications, media, and brand management. Chris serves as a member of our Cabinet, together with the senior vice president and provost, the executive vice president and CFO, the
vice president for diversity, equity, and inclusive excellence, the vice president
for development and alumni engagement, the vice president for enrollment management,
and our newly appointed vice president for student affairs.
Chris has reshaped our Office for Marketing and Communications, helped promote our
institution, programs and people, and, in innumerable ways, raised the profile of the Farmingdale brand. Our website, external advertising, campus communications, FSCNow magazine, photography and video productions, and social media presence and reach, have all been enhanced through
her leadership. Chris has been at the forefront of a refined marketing campaign to
better inform the broader community and grow the message of who we are. I especially value her passion for
the FSC brand and mission, and her strong commitment to authentic, consistent content
across all channels.
I am pleased to announce that I am promoting Chris to the position of vice president
for marketing and communications, a reflection of her outstanding efforts and critical role in our Cabinet. As you see her, be sure
to congratulate and thank Chris for her excellent work.
