University welcomes new alumni director

Meet Catherine Katz, the new director of Alumni Relations. Katz joined Montclair State in August and is looking forward to working with the University’s alumni, and providing essential programming and resources.

“My job is to find out what our alumni want and need from Montclair State,” Katz said, “and to develop and implement programs that will help us provide those valuable services and resources.”

Most recently, Katz served as alumnae director at Castilleja School in Palo Alto, Calif., an independent college preparatory school for girls in grades 6-12. There she launched several programs, including an online community, which successfully strengthened relationships between alumnae and the school. She also was a senior officer at the Watkinson School in Hartford, Conn., where she served as director of marketing and technology. She has received several awards from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education.

“We are very excited that Cathy has joined us,” said Dr. Gregory Waters, vice president for University Advancement. “Her experience, enthusiasm and leadership will be helpful to the University and the Alumni Association as we work together to expand the number of alumni programs and increase the number of alumni who participate.”
