Mary Lynn Young has been appointed director of the School of Journalism at UBC.
Young, who was an associate professor at the school, will serve as director from July 1 to June 30, 2011. She served as acting director of the school in the second half of 2007.

Fail-grade to whoever wrote this press release; unless, of course, Ms Young is actually going to be working only from July 1 to
June 30, 2011. What's she going to be doing until then?

Actually, since the dates are not chronological, this is a legitimate way of writing it. If it said from June 30 to July 1, 2011, that would be completely wrong. But because July 1 comes after June 30, it actually does refer to a specific (and logical) sequence in time.
But yes, could have been written much more clearly.
