Karen Frost

Senior Administrative Coordinator

Karen Frost joined the Office of Interdisciplinary Initiatives in late summer 2022 as the senior administrative coordinator to Lainie Rutkow, Vice Provost, in the Office of the Provost and Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs. She serves as a liaison for the OII Team and is key in helping integrate the multiple disciplines involved in the various initiatives being developed by this new office. Karen calls upon her extensive experience providing high-level executive and administrative support, most recently at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where she was the executive assistant to the deputy director.

A fourth-generation small-town Florida native, Karen was delighted to move to “the big city” and is very excited to finally get to experience seasons and fall colors.
