The Penn State Alumni Association

What’s been happening:

I have worked in higher education throughout my career. As an undergraduate, my first two years of liberal arts courses followed by my training in family housing and home art prepared me for my early career as an interior designer. My undergraduate and graduate education were also the foundation for my career in higher education that has always required creativity, design, communication, and analytical skills. For the last twenty years I have served as a senior officer in comprehensive universities. I have even used my student experiences in Greek and residential life in my current role, which combines the responsibilities of enrollment management with student affairs. As I ponder the possibility of retirement sometime in the future, I think about my great experiences at Penn State and wonder if I should return to State College to study and plan for the next stage of my life.
