OS Welcomes New Members to the Community
Kristin Edison started with OS in April 2016 as our
Executive Secretary. She oversees the Director’s
calendar, organizes OS events, coordinates faculty
and GSI recruitment, and supports development for
the program. Previously supporting several high
level executives in the Japanese automotive industry
has allowed her to refine her project management
skills. She is excited to be back at the University
of Michigan where she received her BA from the
Center for Japanese Studies program. Working for
an international company provoked a curiosity in
Kristin about how different cultures work together
and learn from one another. Joining a program like
Kristin Edison
Organizational Studies felt like a natural fit where she
hopes to learn more on such a fascinating topic.
After work Kristin likes to stay active by camping, kayaking, and indoor rock
climbing. She also tries to take time to pursue her passion for design. Her first
love being photography, she has also spent several years experimenting with
furniture refinishing and most recently graphic design. She plans to add unique
design elements to Organizational Studies events to help draw even more buzz to
this exceptional program.
