Kara Schneck | 2024 Executive Excellence
Chief of Staff & VP, Marketing & Communications | Utah Valley University
How have you leveraged your position as a C-suite executive to influence business dynamics in Utah?
Higher education is an essential part of Utah’s thriving business community. At Utah Valley University (UVU), we educate and graduate the most Utahns in the state. The fact that 77 percent of our graduates are still in the state 10 years later highlights the strong connection between our high-quality and relevant educational programs and the workforce needs of Utah’s employers. By producing skilled and knowledgeable graduates who choose to stay and work in Utah, UVU is tremendously impacting our state.
What does success look like to you?
As my career has evolved, I have learned that success is a team sport built on the collective efforts of many. It is about continually learning, helping others succeed and building a meaningful legacy that will outlast you.
