UB Buzz is written and maintained by the editorial staff of University Business magazine. Its purpose is to provide updates to higher education news and events, and serve as a discussion forum for current higher ed issues.
Who We Are:
Tim Goral, editor-in-chief of University Business, has been a member of Professional Media Group since 2000, when as features editor he joined the staff of District Administration, the publication for K-12 educators. He became editor of the company’s higher education business publication, Matrix magazine, in 2001, and retained his editorial post when Matrix and University Business magazine merged in early 2002. In his nearly 20 years in national trade publication writing and editing, Tim has served in editorial posts for publications in the food & beverage, hospitality, and outdoor retailing industries.
Melissa Ezarik has been managing editor of University Business since 2005. When she’s not assigning articles, editing copy, or helping to make sure content is presented well on the page, Melissa is keeping up on trends and issues related to campus facilities. She writes the Sense of Place department and Facilities Focus column, as well as feature articles on a variety of higher education topics. Also a freelance writer, Melissa covers personal finance (including college savings) regularly for Bankrate.com. In addition, her work has appeared in Good Housekeeping, Smart Money, and Working Mother magazines.
Ann McClure has been an associate editor with University Business since February 2006. Although she covers a variety of topics for the magazine, Ann’s focuses include Community Colleges and global education. Prior to joining UB, she was a reporter on a local weekly newspaper in New Hampshire covering news and events in three towns and two school districts. When not keeping Tim and Melissa on their toes with quirky story pitches, Ann enjoys relaxing at home with her teacher husband and two golden retrievers.
Michele Herrmann is an associate editor at University Business magazine. She has a decade of experience in print journalism, having worked with the Connecticut Post and Brooks Community Newspapers, also in Connecticut. She has been a freelancer for Sacred Heart University, from which she graduated in 1997.
