As the Director, Greta will oversee diversity and social justice initiatives for the campus community and provide support for underrepresented students.
Greta is an alumna of the University of Mary Washington (when it was Mary Washington College). Her time as a student leader at Mary Washington led her to a career in Student Affairs. Greta held positions in multicultural affairs and student life at the University of Maryland, College Park, Vassar College, and the Community College of Baltimore County before returning to UMW in 2011 to be the Associate Director of the James Farmer Multicultural Center.
