Kristin has a degree in communication studies and certification
in professional writing. She has served as the administrative secretary
for the Office of Alumni Relations since January 2002 and has been
an asset as well to the Alumni Association and University Advancement
by using her focus, drive and achievement oriented style to support

you on the road.
During the four weeks leading to the chancellor's Installation,

She visited Duplin, Bladen, Craven and Onslow counties to learn
more about the education and economic conditions of each area. She
was warmly welcomed by key business, civic and education leaders
in addition to area alumni. The purpose of these outreach efforts
were to provide her a first hand look at the counties that surround
UNCW and to explore ways to serve them better. Thank you to everyone
who attended and hosted these events. Our thanks go out to Virginia
Baysden '72, Ron Choate '72, Mickey Corcoran '70, Hobby Green '77,
Bob Joos '79, Murphy-Brown LLC and Sam O'Leary '83 for making these
events possible.
