Katie Glass - Chief Communications Officer

Personal Note:

My passion and commitment for Southwest Wisconsin and my love for serving students drive my infectious and energetic approach to strategic brand communication and higher education.

My collaborative style and natural inclination to promote growth and learning, coupled with my commitment to giving back, makes me fully invest myself in a shared vision and outcome. I value inclusivity and diversity in leaders, openly sharing that I'm devoted to promoting and achieving equity in education. My extensive volunteer experience keeps me and those around me connected with organizations and businesses across the five-county district Southwest Tech serves. I focus on building partnerships that benefit the region's economic health and the individual success of students while also emphasizing the abundance empathy and kindness we all need to truly connect, reach our potential, and, ultimately, believe in the magic and impact of each person.
