  • “As I look back over my 40-year career in higher education administration and communications, certain people stand out. Julie is one of those people. Nothing about her stellar career has surprised me; I knew from the earliest days of our friendship that she was headed for positions of increasing leadership and responsibility. That’s Julie the professional. More meaningful to me is Julie the human – kind, caring, loving, generous, encouraging. It is the combination of professional expertise and personal integrity that I know will make her successful in this venture.”
