Executive in Residence

The Executive in Residence program invites successful alumni to visit campus and present to a variety of classes, meet one-on-one with students, participate in panels, network with students and faculty, and hold a college-wide presentation. The Executive in Residence event is an incredible opportunity for College of Business undergraduate and graduate students to gain valuable connections with high-level leaders in a variety of business fields and learn about their rise to success. This semester’s Executive in Residence was Senior Vice President and COO of St. Luke’s Health System, Sandee Gehrke.

“Sandee’s visit was invaluable for both our students and faculty,” said Director of Advising and Student Services Tara Smith. “Her deep expertise in healthcare leadership and remarkable career trajectory provided unique insights into the challenges and opportunities facing the industry. Sandee not only shared her wealth of knowledge but also inspired the next generation of healthcare leaders. Her commitment to mentorship, both during her visit and throughout her career, exemplifies the true spirit of the program and continues to leave a lasting impact on our College of Business community.”
