Hello, my name is Katelin (Getz) Brendel. I am a doctoral student in the Higher Education Administration program. I previously received my bachelors in Business and Organizational Communication from the University of Akron and my masters in College Student Personnel from Ohio University. I currently serve as the Assistant Director for Fraternity and Sorority Life at The University of Akron. My day-to-day job involves working with and advising student leaders of our 23 Greek chapters and three governing councils while supervising staff. My research interest range, but all come back to the co-curricular experience and the benefit it has on student's development, leadership skills, and job readiness. As for my dissertation topic, I will be doing a qualitative study that will focus on sorority women’s experiences with leadership.
