Today, the Graduate Division and the GradPost bid farewell to Whitney Winn, Director of Career and Professional Development. Whitney came to the Graduate Division in the spring of 2012 from the UCSB Office of Research. (Read our April 2012 article about Whitney joining Graduate Division.)
In the time Whitney has worked in her role as the Director of Career and Professional Development (formerly Director of Retention Services), Whitney has worked on a variety of projects. They include work to organize the inaugural Graduate Student Showcase and Grad Slam events, a redesign of the Graduate Division website, the reworking of New Graduate Student Orientation, First Friday Breakfasts, and helping to run the GradPost.
Whitney and her husband will be moving to Seattle, where she will pursue a passion by taking on the job of teen librarian for the King County Library System. While she is sad to leave all of her great colleagues and the remarkable graduate students at UCSB, she is looking forward to a new adventure in the Pacific Northwest. Best wishes, Whitney!
