Geoffrey Mock, Manager of Internal Communications, Duke
Geoffrey Mock is manager of internal communications for the Duke University Office of News and Communications and editor of Duke Today, www.duke.edu/today, the university’s daily online newspaper.
He joined Duke University in 1986 to help start Dialogue, a weekly tabloid that covered both the campus and medical center at Duke University. He became editor of the paper in 1987 and continued with it until January 2006 when the paper was discontinued and Duke Today was launched. In its two years, the online newspaper has been honored by both CASE and Ragan Communications for its combination of university news and community information. The online paper provides research stories, university news and essential items such as traffic alerts, service outages, dining menus and classified ads. Mock also oversees the marketing plan for Duke Today, which has helped increase readership nearly three-fold in its two-plus years.
Before joining Duke, Mock worked as an education reporter for newspapers in Gastonia, N.C., and Havre de Grace, Md. He graduated from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill with a political science degree in 1982.
