My name is Kim Livingstone and I have happily served in higher education for over 15 years; with the last three and a half lovely years at DePaul. As the Executive Assistant and Budget Manager in the Office of University Marketing and Communications, I have worked with some amazing colleagues; supporting their efforts and goals to advance the mission of the University. In my brief time as a DePaul staff member, I have proudly served our community by participating in Chicago Quarter as a Staff Professional and volunteering whenever called upon for events such as DePaul University Academic Convocation, Christmas at DePaul, Welcome Back Celebration, the Presidential Inauguration and Commencement. I continued to reach out to all colleagues across the university to build working relationships and provided my assistance where most needed.
My unique career path has led me to DePaul, and I am extremely grateful to not only live our university’s Catholic, Vincentian, and Urban Mission but share this commitment with others. My decision to run for Staff Council stems from two driving forces; my desire to contribute my time, talent, and treasure to advance our existing valuable priorities and goals already in action by our hardworking staff council and; my eagerness to work towards building a stronger community, supporting our diverse and unified voice, and providing inclusion opportunities for new and exciting connections between staff, faculty, alum and students of every background that will foster a positive community culture where all are valued and appreciated. I humbly and respectfully request your support and vote and thank you for the opportunity and consideration to carry your voice forward.
