An OU journalism alum and former editor of The Oklahoman has been named dean of the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication.
Ed Kelley has served as interim dean since August 2015 and was put in the position after former dean Joe Foote stepped down. He was appointed dean by the OU Board of Regents today at its meeting in Oklahoma City.
Before his tenure as interim dean, Kelley served as Gaylord College's Director of Experiential Learning. In that position, he helped increase internship opportunities for Gaylord students.
