Ripon, located in east central Wisconsin, is a liberal arts college with about 800 students.

鈥淭he thing that I love about higher ed, particularly institutions like our small liberal arts institutions, is the way that we embody principles of shared governance,鈥 she said. 鈥淲e work together across areas-- across the constituencies of faculty, staff, students, board members, alumni and administrators--to solve the big problems of how to continue to compete in an increasingly competitive marketplace and to provide transformative educational experiences for our students.鈥

Young brings great knowledge and vigor to DePauw, including her experiences as a faculty member who has served on important faculty and university committees and as a member of the cabinet at Rippon. 聽During the search process for the vice president for finance and administration at DePauw, Dr. Young impressed us with her knowledge of the financial challenges and opportunities for small liberal arts colleges. She also demonstrated her ability to communicate the nuances of university budgets to a wide variety of constituencies. That鈥檚 always important, and especially so at a time when we are undertaking many new initiatives called for in the strategic plan.鈥

Young said she is excited to work on implementing the strategic plan, which calls for academic renewal and work toward an exemplary student experience, institutional equity and a flourishing university.

DePauw has 鈥渃reated an inspiring and forward-thinking strategic plan,鈥 she said. 鈥淚'm excited to join in on the work of realizing that vision and working with internal and external partners to put our time and our resources behind the strategic pillars that you鈥檝e collectively identified will move the institution forward.鈥
