Rachel Hoormann, the vice president of marketing and communications, is leaving Loyola to work as the president of the marketing and strategic initiatives at Delgado Community College.
Hoormann came to Loyola about five years ago under the leadership of Tania Tetlow. Since then, she has played a major part in the representation of Loyola to society.
Before she came to Loyola, she worked at Tulane University as the president of mass communications.
Hoormann, as an alum of Loyola, wanted to help the school in any way possible, so she took the open position doing public relations for the university.
Hoorman said, “I am interested in building upon my experience in higher education communications but also having new challenges.”
The university is currently looking for a temporary replacement for Hoorman’s position.
Hoormann and The university are trying to make the transition from smooth as Hoorman leaves Loyola.
Hoorman said she does not play a role in finding the replacement, but she believes that Loyola’s leadership will find someone suited for the role.
Hoormann said her last day was March 15, and she does not know when a replacement will be announced.
Faculty and staff will be notified when a new contact has been identified, she said.
Hoormann said, “The incredibly talented and dedicated marketing and communication team will continue to produce excellent work as they have throughout the time that I worked with them.”
