Chris Kelly, associate vice president for marketing and communication at Pittsburg State University, has announced the selection of Gregor Kalan as the university’s director of web marketing.

“We’re very excited to have Gregor join our team,” Kelly said. “The website plays a critical role in the university’s marketing efforts and it is the vital link between people both on and off campus. Gregor brings a wealth of experience with him and we know he will be a great addition to the university.”

Kalan said he is excited to be back on campus and said he looks forward to the work that lies ahead.

“There are many challenges associated with managing a website as complex and dynamic as Pittsburg State’s,” Kalan said. “I’m excited about the work that lies ahead and especially glad to be back on the PSU campus.”

In 2001, Kalan, a native of Slovenia, earned a bachelor of science degree from PSU, majoring in commercial graphics. After he graduated from college, Kalan returned to Slovenia, where he managed KARA Corp., an advertising design studio from 2002 until 2005. That year he returned to the U.S., working first for Two West Marketing and Communication, Inc., in Kansas City, Mo.; and then Hopkins Corporation in Emporia, Kan., where he was the senior graphic designer. For the past two years, Kalan has been the senior web designer for Leggett & Platt, Inc., in Carthage, Mo.

Kalan and his wife, Jasna, have four children. They live in Chicopee, Kan.
