Christy oversees pre- and post-award sponsored awards for the College of Liberal Arts. This includes coordination, preparation, review, and submission of sponsored project proposals through the University’s Sponsored Projects Administration (SPA) and guiding the awards through SPA and the finance department. She serves as a liaison and resource for faculty and collegiate staff, educates and trains on policies and processes, ensures proposals are developed and submitted following the University processes, and reviews all proposals before approval by the Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Programs. In addition, she monitors and oversees post-award management activities including compliance and accountability on sponsored funds and working with PIs on multi-year awards.
Before joining the CLA staff and the University of Minnesota in 2022, her career was in arts and cultural non-profit organizations overseeing and creating programs for a diversity of communities in the nine states of the Midwest and directing the Shakespeare in American Communities initiative across the United States, on behalf of the National Endowment for the Arts. She is a local visual artist and when not assisting CLA sponsored awards she can be found in her studio at F-O-K Studios on the West Side of St. Paul exploring her creative endeavors.
