Kathy works on developing relationships across campus, and with alums and friends of the university throughout the Commonwealth and the country. She also serves as adjunct faculty in the Hart School and the Department of Kinesiology and is a member of many cross-campus and cross-disciplinary committees. Kathy was a student-athlete at Virginia Tech where she received her BA and then while working full time she earned an MS from James Madison University along with the College Student Personnel Administration Certification. She enjoys life-long learning, camping and relaxing in Maine each summer. Kathy and her husband (also an educator and coach!) reside on their small "farm" and are blessed with three grown children and 5 grands!
