Katelin Christianer-Donkers

I am an alumna of Kansas State University with my undergraduate degree from the College of Business. I was afforded many excellent opportunities during my time in Manhattan. While at K-State I participated in a study abroad semester in Florence, Italy through ISA and worked as a Peer Advisor for Education Abroad the following year, which I credit for my career path in International Education. After graduation, I lived in Phoenix, AZ for several years working for CEA Study Abroad while pursuing a Master of Education in International Education through Endicott College.

I returned to K-State as an Education Abroad Advisor in 2015. During my tenure in that position, I assisted with many supporting roles in conjunction with Advising, such as scholarship coordination, faculty led coordination, student worker supervision, and more. After working in the office for over seven years, I was appointed the Director in 2022. As Director, my duties include strategic and operational planning for Education Abroad, personnel management, fiscal management, coordination with the Kansas State University in Italy entity, international agreement management, and serving on the Applied Learning Core Team, which supports efforts for the K-State Next-Gen Strategic Plan.
