Saying Goodbye to Stacy Gato
Dear Colleagues,
It’s bittersweet to share that Stacy Gato, Vice President for Enrollment Management, has accepted a terrific opportunity to become the VP for Strategic Enrollment Management at Saint Leo’s University in Tampa, Florida, which serves more than 14,000 students. She will be responsible for traditional and online enrollment and will lead a team of over 140 employees. This is a tremendous opportunity, and we send our heartfelt gratitude to her for nine years at Averett. This will also allow Stacy to live within a couple of hours of her parents.
Since joining Averett in 2013, Stacy has assumed expanded duties and most recently added responsibilities for the continued integration of all key enrollment service areas to achieve more seamless service for prospective and current students. Stacy has led each of her areas, including traditional admissions, Averett Online, Averett Central and the Registrar’s Office, to new levels of service delivery and positive results for students during her years at Averett. Most recently, she led the implementation of Averett’s new brand and kick-started the overhaul of the website.
Congratulations, Stacy, on this new chapter of your life. You will be greatly missed.
Stacy’s last day with Averett is July 22, and we are working through plans for the interim period. These plans, along with details on a farewell celebration for Stacy, will be shared with campus in the upcoming weeks.
Warmly, Tiffany
