Kaitlyn O'keefe

Here is some of what Kaitlyn’s nominators said about her:

“Unwavering strength, describes Kaitlyn perfectly. She does not buckle during adversity, instead she digs deep and finds a way to rise.”

“Kaitlyn develops trusting relationships based on mutual respect, which allows her to provide thoughtful feedback and appropriately challenge others. Staff most appreciate her willingness to offer support during difficult moments (accountability conversations, crisis situations, etc.). This approach gives staff the confidence they need to act on things they previously doubted they could do.”

“University Housing, like many departments across college campuses, faces staffing shortages. Kaitlyn stepped up to the plate and provided excellent and thoughtful leadership in this area in two ways. One, she lead staff recruitment efforts at the professional and graduate level, revising these methods to meet the expectations of a new generation of entry level staff and graduates. Kaitlyn developed new procedures for recruitment, pivoting to newer procedures over this past year when presented with more challenges in the hiring market. She revamped all of our marketing materials to personalize these efforts to each candidate. Kaitlyn looked at recruitment processes from a comprehensive approach starting with recruitment materials, to the on campus experience, and to how applicants are onboarded.”
