Each of Kayla’s five years with the university has been unique. The experienced international program coordinatorhelped students and families navigate the COVID pandemic and International Programs’ transition back to safe travel. Now she’s focused on the successful Study Abroad Program, with the goal to make the world accessible for every Red Dragon.
