Mary Paula has a Bachelor of Arts in architecture from the University of Kentucky (UK). While at UK, she participated in the summer design workshop in Italy; she has since been back to Italy twice, most recently in the fall 2008. A long-time NKU employee, she is the "go-to person" for facilities information. She has a passion for education and enjoys the campus environment, although manna from the sky (in this case, additional space) would make the job of planning the campus a bit easier.
