Just as a sports team riddled by injuries gathers steam as key players return, UNO has filled another position in its administration.
Michael Hilt was selected in May as assistant dean of the College of Communication, Fine Arts and Media, concluding another faculty hunt in a long list of searches.
Hilt previously was a professor and interim general manager for Classical 90.7 KVNO and UNO Television.
He will continue to oversee the station's media operations and will also assume responsibilities within the college.
Within that same college, Robert Franklin was named director of media operations. Both positions are effective July 1.
"The new structure allows UNO TV, KVNO and the entire college to take full advantage of the talents, abilities and experiences of two outstanding professionals," said Gail Baker, dean of CFAM, in a statement. "We gain depth in all three of our strategic missions - focus on students, academic excellence and community engagement."
Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences was also recently selected, with David Boocker being announced as the next administrator to be responsible for nearly 900 UNO undergraduate and graduate students.
The search for dean of the College of Education will continue into September, the university announced in April. Three candidates visited campus and interviewed for the position.
However, David Conway will serve as the interim dean this summer.
Conway was previously the associate dean for the college. Former dean John Langan had announced he would retire this summer, but would assist in the national accreditation process in the fall.
