Marshall University President Brad D. Smith<\/a> announced today that a trio of new officials have been tapped to lead the university\u2019s finance, information technology and marketing divisions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are moving forward with three new leaders who are poised to transform our capabilities in finance, information technology and marketing,\u201d Smith said. \u201cWe are taking the next steps toward becoming one of the nation\u2019s most dynamic, nimble and progressive educational institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

National searches were conducted for all three positions, which include the chief financial officer, chief information officer and chief marketing and communications officer.<\/p>\n

He is a licensed certified public accountant with undergraduate and graduate degrees from WVU.\u00a0 He will begin Nov. 7.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing born and raised in Culloden, I am very familiar with the rich history of Marshall University and the institution’s impact on, not only the local community, but the entire state,\u201d Tidd said.\u00a0 \u201cI look forward to joining the team at Marshall University and being a small part of the next chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jodie Penrod<\/strong> will serve as the chief information officer at Marshall.\u00a0 She joins Marshall from the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine in Athens, Ohio.\u00a0 In that position she provided oversight of all information technology services for the college\u2019s three academic campuses and multiple hospital-based teaching centers across the state of Ohio. Prior to her appointment at OU, she was the director of applications and IT project manager for Holzer Medical.\u00a0Penrod graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University with a bachelor\u2019s degree in aerospace engineering.\u00a0 She has a master\u2019s degree from Missouri University of Science & Technology in systems engineering and is expected to complete her doctorate in instruction technology from Ohio University in 2023.\u00a0Penrod will join the Marshall team Nov. 7.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing named Marshall University’s CIO is truly an honor and an opportunity of a lifetime,\u201d Penrod said. \u00a0\u201cI cannot wait to start working with President Smith, the IT group, staff, faculty and students to transform higher education technology at Marshall!\u201d<\/p>\n

Dave Traube <\/strong>joined Marshall as chief marketing and communications officer Oct. 10 from the University of Charleston, where he led the marketing and communications team. During his tenure, the University of Charleston experienced increased enrollment, inquiries and a rise in reputation as the premier choice in West Virginia for private higher education. Traube is a son of Marshall University, having graduated with a degree in broadcast journalism. He started his career as a radio broadcaster in southern West Virginia before serving as the director of public relations for the Raleigh County Board of Education. He joined the University of Charleston in 2015 as director of communications before being promoted to vice president in 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy time at the University of Charleston will always be important to me – it’s a special place with so many special people,\u201d Traube said. \u201cBut I couldn’t be more excited to come home to Marshall–it’s a place that has shaped my life and put me on a path to success. I’m thrilled to get the opportunity to show others how it can do the same for them.\u201d<\/p>\n
