Vice Chancellor for Public Affairs Robert Hill, who has headed Pitt’s Office of Public Affairs since 1999, will retire from Pitt May 31.

As chief communications officer, he supervises the departments of Executive Communications, National Media Relations, University Marketing Communications and University News and Magazines, as well as the University’s Web presence, advertising, video communications, local media relations, publications and the University Times.

“The University of Pittsburgh provided me with a wonderful opportunity to contribute to its early-21st-century momentum and progress,” said Hill. “I am fortunate to have led the effort to tell the remarkable Pitt story to its multiple audiences through multiple media. Now I look forward to volunteering in support of worthy community causes.”
