PAUL BROCKWELL JR. is a marketing communications manager for the MCV Foundation, which supports VCU’s MCV Campus units through endowed funds that fuel patient care, research and health sciences education. Prior to this role, he was senior communications strategy specialist with the State Corporation Commission in Richmond, Va., an independent state agency that sounds a little like a spy front at first read. Prior to rejoining state service, he was a writer/editor turned digital content strategist at University of Richmond for nearly six years. While in Spider territory, he chaired the university’s staff advisory council and led an overhaul of its representative model to make it more inclusive of all staff across the university. In 2007, Brockwell received his B.A. in religious studies with a minor in Middle Eastern studies from William & Mary. In 2010, he earned his M.A. in magazine, newspaper, and online journalism from the S.I. Newhouse School at Syracuse University. In his down time, he watches (and overanalyzes) way too much TV and wanders Richmond in search of great food, beer, coffee, and dessert.
