Kristie (Kuhnle ’90) Jacobson has the privilege of leading the teams responsible for the Taylor Fund, donor services, and annual and endowed scholarships. Kristie started her career with Taylor in 1991 when she served as the Director of Public Information, and then as the Director of the Annual Fund (TUFW).
