Karen Ganss

I support students, staff, and faculty with our engineering partnership programs with Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction, Colorado and Western Colorado University in Gunnison, Colorado. Originally from the San Luis Valley of Southern Colorado, I am proud of my small town roots and am the first in my family to go to college. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Western Colorado University and a Master’s degree in College Student Services from Oregon State University. I have a diverse array of interests in higher education, with professional experiences in undergraduate admissions, honors programs, pre-health advising, new student orientation, and engineering support.

In my free time, I enjoy trail running, gardening, snowboarding, crafting (making greeting cards in particular), watching Raider football, paddle boarding, and camping.
