Jeff Berggren

Director of Marketing and Communications

Jeff Berggren came to Huntington in 1993 after graduating from another Christian college, John Brown University in Arkansas, and then working in both admissions and public relations there for nine years. He has three bachelor’s degrees; Radio and TV Broadcasting, Business Administration, and Public Relations. While in college Berggren played varsity football, JV basketball and club rugby.

After serving as vice president for enrollment and marketing on Huntington’s home campus for over 20 years, Berggren moved to the Phoenix, Arizona area in the summer of 2014 (yes, the summer!) to begin the groundwork for HU’s new additional location in Peoria, Arizona. Berggren served as Director of Arizona Operations and oversaw the extended location of Huntington University in Arizona. He assessed target student markets, hired and directed campus personnel, coordinated student recruitment and marketing, coordinated the assessment of student learning, interacted with Peoria business networks and municipal authorities, maintained campus accreditation and administered academic and nonacademic policies for the Arizona site.

He then returned in 2023 to Huntington, Indiana where he provided instrumental leadership in graduate and online programs, marketing, and senior leadership. He is now the Director of Marketing and leading the charge to tell Huntington's story in an effective and compelling manner.

Berggren has a heightened level of empathy for students and parents involved in the college selection process as both of his daughters are HU graduates from HU's digital media arts programs. He enjoys playing and watching sports, all-things-automotive, hiking and spending lots of time with his wife and family.
