Tell Us About It Karen Yegian is the most creative, thoughtful, clever, reassuring financial and organizational manager in the School of Architecture and Planning. When others say no, Karen finds a way. When someone is at their wit's end, Karen brings them back from the abyss edge. When a proposal is made that seems impossible to fund, somehow she always finds a way to make it happen. Along with her amazing talents as a money manager, Karen also is the sweetest, most self-effacing leader, always ducking behind a barrier to avoid receipt of a complement. DUSP is a better place because of her endless enthusiasm, unassailable professionalism, and dogged determination to make things succeed. When students and visitors had to clear out of the department and grad housing, she did her best to take care of everyone. We are so lucky to have her as our leader.
