The College of Arts and Sciences is pleased to welcome Emily Kruse back to campus! She assumed the role of assistant to the dean in the College of Arts and Sciences effective Aug. 5. Emily had formerly been part of Drake’s Office of Admission, and many of you will recognize her from her former role in recruiting students to become part of the Drake community. Most recently, Emily worked with the office of admissions at Clarke University in Dubuque, Iowa.

As assistant to the dean, Emily will lead multiple functions for the College: coordinating the strategic initiatives in the College, developing the College’s communications strategy, and orchestrating the daily workflows in the dean’s office. She brings exceptional energy and talent. Please join me in welcoming her back to Drake!
