Kevin Lee, associate director of University Communications at the University of Colorado at 麻豆影院, has been named interim executive director of University Communications while a national search for the permanent position is conducted.

Prior to joining CU-麻豆影院 in 1999, Lee was president of Walker & Lee, Inc., a 麻豆影院-based advertising agency. His experience includes more than 25 years in brand marketing and advertising with Walker & Lee, the Adolph Coors Co. and Kryptonics, Inc.听
