Kristen Dempwolf '13

Community Engagement Coordinator
York Traditions Bank

"My favorite class at York College was Events and Promotions with Kelley Gibson. It was there that I found a way to merge my planning oriented brain with my love for service to nonprofits. I don't think it ever dawned on me until then that I could serve my community through marketing and events. Kelley was also one of the many individuals who helped forge my path in York's events community."
