Dawn describes herself as a data junkie who thrives on gathering, compiling and analyzing information to extract useful “bytes” for grant proposals, market demand research and curriculum development. Her strength is presenting information in a format that doesn’t overburden decision makers—distilling the information to its core message—making the data speak. She says, “plunk me in front of a computer to design survey questions or analyze survey results and I’m happy as a pig in…. Oops!”

Dawn has worked at Kansas State University since 1984. Before becoming project coordinator at the Institute for Academic Alliances in 2000, she was Associate Director of Affirmative Action and was responsible for the University’s Affirmative Action Plan which involved detailed workforce analysis and investigating discrimination and harassment complaints. Dawn has a master’s degree in Gerontology from Iowa State University.

Bike riding is Dawn’s preferred mode of transportation, particularly with one of her grandchildren on the back squealing with delight when they hit bumps. Playing the piano is another joy in her life, along with her wonderful husband, parents, kids, grandkids and sisters.
