Kathy Bemis
- Coordinator, Student Life
Kathy has been a member of the Student Life team since 2004, assisting students with a wide variety of everyday non-academic and housing issues. In 2005, Kathy created the AUR Housing ResGrad Program as a way of giving back to AUR students while creating new resources for the Office of Student Life. She began her career at AUR in January 2002 as Administrative Assistant to Reception, and was soon dubbed “First Face of AUR”. This position gave her daily contact with the entire university community as well as the community outside the campus and allowed her to develop a comprehensive practical understanding of both. Before joining AUR, Kathy taught English as well as edited and translated cancer research papers for publication in British and American journals. An American citizen born in Costa Rica, Ms. Bemis speaks English, Italian and some Spanish. She grew up in both Maryland and Massachusetts and has lived in Italy since 1992, with a three year residence in England.
