Karen To

Director of Web & Digital Media

kto@coloradocollege.edu

Karen provides leadership, strategy, and hands-on management of the web and other digital communications channels for the college.

Karen joined CC eagerly in 2005, after a long (at least it seemed that way) and illustrious career in Corporate America. With a degree in linguistics and no direct path to a profession, she started her career sending form letters to AARP members. Thanks to a knack with computers and software, she promptly began a steady migration to technology. She has been a programmer, system administrator, software support specialist, and content manager.

Karen thinks that industrial agriculture is public enemy #1 and enjoys yoga, hiking, and backpacking.
