ANNOUNCEMENT TO WELLS COLLEGE COMMUNITY
Dear Wells faculty, staff and students;

I am happy to share some good news: I have appointed Kristen J. Phillips ’95 to serve as the new Assistant to the President. For the past nine months, Kristen’s work as the director of alumnae and alumni relations has prepared her well for the position. In addition, Kristen earned a bachelor of arts in political science, cum laude, from Wells and a law degree, also cum laude, from Suffolk University Law School. Prior to joining the Advancement staff, Kristen worked in real estate law with specific expertise in developing the processes and staffing for handling a national clientele. Her rigorous education, diverse experiences and commitment to Wells, along with her enthusiasm, will provide a strong foundation as she transitions to this key position in the President’s Office while continuing to steward the important work of alumni relations.

Kristen will assume her new responsibilities on Wednesday, February 1 when she moves to Macmillan 213. Her email address will remain kphillips@wells.edu. Kristen’s phone number will change to 3475 in February; you may reach her at 3419 in the meantime. While Kristen will continue to work closely with the Advancement staff through Reunion, Vice President for Advancement Michael McGreevey will begin the search for a new director of alumnae and alumni relations very shortly.

Please join me in extending congratulations to Kristen.

Lisa Marsh Ryerson
President
