She works with the 25th and 35th reunion cycles of Smithies,<br>partnering with the class volunteers to increase engagement, build connections with their<br>classmates, and align their philanthropic goals with the mission of the college. Cathy started at<br>Smith in 2019 in the Dining Department as the Campus Catering Manager, building<br>relationships with staff, faculty and Smithie students, helping to plan and cater events all over<br>campus. In her role now with Milestone Reunions (joined in 2023), she continues to foster and<br>nurture relationships with Smithies, but focusing on Alum. When she is not working for Smith,<br>she is most likely nurturing her two children under 3 (youngest born in 2023) with her husband,<br>Sean, watching them slowly figure out this world. Another place you will find her is walking in<br>her neighborhood or going on hikes with their Redbone Hound, Duke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Staff Council Activities Committee, co-chaired by Cathy and Andrea Fernandes, plans the<br>many fun events hosted by Staff Council. Some of the events include the Cookie Contest,<br>Soups &amp; Spuds, and Cider &amp; Donuts! Cathy has been part of this committee for 2 years and will<br>be on till she rotates off Staff Council next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cathy enjoys making new friends across campus and hearing about the unique experiences of<br>staff in other departments. She values the meaningful relationships she has built during her time<br>on Staff Council and finds the insights gained from colleagues in different areas both<br>eye-opening and enlightening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cathy Kearney works in the Office of Alumnae Relations and Development, as the AssistantDirector of Milestone Reunions.
