Kathy Graham CSM

Starting August 7, 2006, Ms. Kathy Graham joined the SPH Office of Student Affairs staff as its new career services manager. In this position, Graham provides career development assistance for all SPH undergraduate and graduate students on resume and CV development, interviewing, job-searching, etc. Graham plans to further develop SPH’s relationships with potential employers and provide opportunities for students to connect with employers and learn about public health careers through career fairs and panel discussions.

Graham is also responsible for developing the Career Services pages in the Current Student section of the SPH website, which will soon have an abundance of resources for students, including an updated jobs and other opportunities database.

One of Graham’s first projects has been to organize the SPH Student Information Day, to take place September 6, 2006, where approximately 19 student and local organizations will be available to discuss volunteer and leadership opportunities for SPH undergraduate and graduate students. She looks forward to meeting and greeting students at this event and answering questions about future workshops and seminars related to career development.

Graham, a graduate of UNC-CH, moved to Chapel Hill from Boone, N.C. where she was the Student Employment and Internship Coordinator for Appalachian State University. Prior to this position, Graham worked in management with Goodwin Weavers, and in Human Resources for Quintiles, Inc. in Research Triangle Park. She has two sons, ages ten and seven and enjoys playing competitive tennis.
