Dear Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to announce that Dana Kroll will assume the role of executive assistant in the Office of the President effective October 1. In this role, Dana will be responsible for managing both the routine functions and special projects of the office, including supervising the office’s student workers to maximize their contributions and their development. She will handle office communications, manage the office budget, plan certain events, and coordinate the work of the president’s office with other offices and boards both internally and externally. 

Dana will bring a wealth of experience to this position. Since 2015, she has served as executive director of The Community Art, Technology, Health & Education Center (CATHE). At CATHE, Dana has been responsible for all aspects of running the organization, including working with the board of directors, developing and managing the budget, overseeing staff, fundraising, and serving as the public face of the organization. Prior to her role at CATHE, Dana served as executive assistant to Dr. Benjamin Barber at the City University of New York, and as project coordinator for the program that Dr. Barber ran through the university. Dana’s background also includes serving for three years as program director for Young Professionals of Racine.
