About

Nicole Pellegrino

Executive Director, Student Services

A true Ithaca local, Nicole can tell you everything you need to know about the Ithaca Farmers Market. She has traveled to all but two of the U.S. states (she's still working on Idaho and Alaska). She loves the different perspectives students bring to Johnson, and enjoys in-depth conversations about everything from the weather to politics to coursework. She's also famous for insisting on iced coffee...even in a Polar Vortex!

Kathryn Kvasnica

Associate Director, Student Services

From game day to game night—outside of work, you can often find Kathryn playing board games with friends or cheering for University of Michigan college football. She loves the energy in Sage Hall when MBA students are on campus, and is constantly inspired by the passion students bring to everything they do.

Joseph Zielinski

Associate Director, Student Services

After work, Joseph unwinds by reading (he is always looking for recommendations), playing hockey, and planning new outdoor and international adventures. He loves the enthusiasm students bring to Johnson, the energy brought to welcoming members to the community, and student’s willingness to discuss their passions and goals.
