Alumni relations activities at Berkeley Engineering have a new face. Three new faces to be exact. They are new Alumni Relations Director Karin Mack, incoming Engineering Alumni Society (EAS) Board President Katharine Greenbaum, and Alumni Relations Assistant Director Dawn Kramer.
Mack joined the Berkeley staff in August as alumni relations director, managing planning, implementation, outreach, and evaluation of all alumni activities. She has a 20-year career in higher education, most recently at UC Davis, where she founded and directed two academic enrichment and retention programs for engineers, Women in Engineering and the Center for Engineering Professionalism. Mack holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in applied behavioral sciences from UC Davis.
Katharine Greenbaum (B.S.’95 IEOR, M.P.P.’05 Public Policy) will serve as EAS president for one year, representing the College’s nearly 52,000 alumni and directing the board’s program of educational and networking events designed to keep alumni and students active in the College. She has held positions at IBM and business consulting firm Fair Isaac Corporation, but now, with her public policy master’s degree completed, she is moving her career into the nonprofit/public benefit sector.
“Involvement in the Society of Women Engineers provided connections and leadership opportunities for me as an undergraduate,” Greenbaum says, “and that motivated me to get involved with the EAS after graduation.” Her goals for the year include invigorating alumni programs, beefing up member participation, cultivating relations with student societies, and tapping into other alumni societies for support.
On staff since March, Dawn Kramer manages alumni and student events as well as print and online communications. She came to Berkeley from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, where she worked since 1999 as director of special events and manager of programs and communications. Kramer holds a bachelor’s, also from UC Davis, in political science and public service.
All Berkeley Engineering graduates are automatically members of the EAS, and all are encouraged to participate in events, alumni programs, and board activities. Look for alumni news, distributed monthly by email and biannually through Forefront.
