As Events and Projects Coordinator, Deepa manages events and student focused project efforts including Recruitment and Student Success, Design Studio, and administrative events.

Deepa worked for the State of Nebraska for about 22 years in various roles and state agencies. Most recently, she was the Communications Manager at the Nebraska Department of Revenue. She then worked in several nonprofit organizations in Lincoln to follow her passion for advocacy. In all of her roles, she has found herself volunteering for event planning duties, so having it in her job title makes all kinds of sense!

Deepa obtained her Bachelor of Science degree at Indiana University's School of Public and Environmental Affairs in Bloomington, Indiana. She immediately followed that up with a Master's in Public Administration (MPA) from the same school.

Deepa enjoys watching and listening to all kinds of movies and music. She sings, and loves to play cards and board games with family and friends. Her dog (Penny) is a tri-pod, and her cat (Cooper) is an "old man", and she thinks they might actually "love" each other.
