Kathryn L. Mullaney
Vice President for Finance and Treasurer

 Kathryn L. Mullaney came to St. Lawrence in September 1994 after working for 20 years for the General Electric Company. She was involved with finance as a member of the Board of Trustees at her alma mater, Union College ; seeing this area as a possible career, she decided to seek work in higher education and “was fortunate enough that St. Lawrence was looking for a VP of finance at the time.”

Mullaney is responsible for many of the financial aspects of St. Lawrence, including the University’s operating budget, investments, short-term treasury management, and evaluating the financial status of the University. “I like to describe the finance division as one part of the University that gets to see the entire University at work,” she says. “It’s the one place that the entire operation interacts in one way or another.”

One of the most valuable assets Mullaney has experienced at St. Lawrence is the people. “I’ve rarely had the opportunity to work with people with whom I am such good friends,” she says. “On the President’s staff, we have people who are outstanding professionals and good at their jobs.  At the same time we truly enjoy each other’s company and look forward to seeing each other outside of work. I have found a community here that is welcoming and mutually supportive.”

Mullaney majored in biology at Union and then participated in the Financial Management Program, which she calls “an in-house MBA program,” at GE.
