Katherine Gale
BENDER OF TWIGS INDUCTEE 2019
Charles Dickens begins A Tale of Two Cities with It was the best of times, it was
the worst of times.... The years working with Kathy Gale, our Office Manager, were
definitely THE BEST OF TIMES! Not to say that university life was easy nor that challenges
were few, infrequent and small, but her strength of character, desire for excellence
and her sense of humor made all the difference for the faculty, staff, academic advisors
and students she worked
with and served. Her dedication to the priorities and needs of the Advising Center
staff, collaborating faculty and students was unsurpassed. She cares and she makes
a significant qualitative difference.
We experienced a number of administrative, technological, budgetary and personnel
changes throughout our 20+ years together. She was up to the tasks at hand. The essence
of quality teamwork requires expertise, persistent devotion to get the task done well,
and a passion for collaboration that
transcends self-centeredness. Kathy excelled in each and all of these areas. She was
up to any challenge that needed to be faced.
To this day I’m still thankful we worked on the same team. Her continuing outstanding contributions speak for themselves. Thank you Kathy Gale. You are a superstar in my book!
