Academic Department Manager
Kari Craighead is the Department Manager for the Department of Modern Languages & Literatures at Santa Clara University. An SCU alumna, she earned a B.A. in English (Class of 1993) and returned to the University in 2000 after working in the high-tech sector. Kari has served in her current role since 2001 and was awarded the Nancy Keil Service Excellence Award in 2010. She has also served two terms on Staff Senate.
Outside of work, Kari enjoys crocheting, reading, movies, and spending time with family and friends. She is a devoted Green Bay Packers fan; but will cheer on both the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks when opportunity arises... joy doesn't need to be limited to just one team.
