About
Kathy Douglas has over seven years of experience working in Masters and PhD-level student career services and student services at Yale.
Before coming to F&ES, Kathy served as Assistant Director of the McDougal Center at Yale Graduate School, bringing nonacademic career opportunities to graduate students through Graduate Career Services. Related projects included establishing the Women Mentoring Women program and Dissertation Boot Camp, and publishing four issues of the multi-media/multi-disciplinary publication, Palimpsest: Yale Literary & Arts Magazine.
Kathy holds two MFAs and is a published poet. She has lived in New Haven for 17 years and was one of the community organizers for the Nash Street community park created in collaboration with URI and New Haven’s Livable Cities Initiative. After receiving her first MFA, she served as curator of Sagamore Lodge Museum and had the privilege of living in the heart of Adirondack wilderness for a year. She is very much interested in Buckminster Fuller’s call for humans to use our incredible intelligence for ‘livingry’ rather than weaponry, and is extremely interested in ecologically intelligent designs and strategies of all kinds.
