Vice President
of Communications
Becky King
School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences
Candidate Biography:
My name is Becky King, and I am a graduate student at the University of Pittsburgh pursuing a master’s in health informatics with a specialization in Health Care Supervision and Management. I also work at Pitt as an Application Support Specialist, where I assist research teams with REDCap, Advarra OnCore, and other research-related technologies. I hold a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and an MS in Management of Information Systems.
Beyond my academic and professional work, I actively contribute to student engagement as a representative for the SHRS Student Sustainability Committee. I am also involved in research support and compliance, strengthening my ability to communicate effectively with diverse stakeholders. As a first-generation and non-traditional student, I understand the challenges of navigating graduate school from multiple perspectives. My leadership experience spans student organizations, research initiatives, and technology implementation projects, all of which have enhanced my skills in outreach, strategic communication, and community engagement.
Candidate Statement:
As Vice President of Communications, my goal is to enhance transparency, engagement, and accessibility in GPSG communications. I plan to streamline communication channels across Pitt’s graduate and professional student community by improving the clarity and reach of GPSG updates, events, and initiatives. By leveraging digital tools, social media, and campus-wide platforms, I aim to ensure that every student is well-informed and connected to GPSG resources.
Additionally, I am committed to amplifying student voices and fostering open dialogue between GPSG and the diverse graduate student population. I want to ensure that both traditional and non-traditional graduate students feel included, represented, and informed about opportunities available to them. Whether through newsletters, social media campaigns, or interactive forums, my goal is to make GPSG an accessible and inclusive resource for all students, regardless of their academic journey.
My experience in research support, compliance, and technology implementation gives me a solid foundation to effectively manage and enhance GPSG communications. I would be honored to serve as your VP of Communications and look forward to the opportunity to strengthen the connection between GPSG and the student body.
