Kerry Strader

As the Assistant Director for Program Management, I oversee and coordinate the Wisconsin in Washington (WiW) program. Additionally, I assist with other program management policies and processes, and support domestic study away opportunities.

Originally from Dayton, Ohio, I graduated from Kenyon College with a BA in Modern Languages and Literatures (French and Spanish). I had the opportunity to explore France twice, first as a student in Paris and then as an English teacher in the Champagne region. I attended UW-Madison for graduate school, earning a Master of French Studies with a focus on International Education. While on that program, I completed an internship at HEC, the business school of the University of Montreal. I started my career at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, as a study abroad advisor and then coordinator of their European campus in Luxembourg. After Miami, I returned to Kenyon College to serve as Associate Director of Off-Campus Study. At Kenyon, I also worked part-time as an assistant coach for the cross country team.

Outside of work, I like to run, do yoga, and hike with my dog. My husband and I enjoy watching sports (preferably live!) and eating good food from around the world.
