Katie Underwood

Events and Alumni Relations Manager

I started working at Marist in September of 2018 as the Events and Alumni Relations Manager. In my role, I plan special events for the school, including the annual Auction, 50th Anniversary Gala and the Athletic Hall of Fame to events including Preview Day, Rising Spartan and various receptions throughout the year. In my Alumni Relations role, I have the opportunity to work with Marist alumni who are planning their reunions and those who submit exciting life changes for the Marist Magazine. 

Prior to working at Marist, I worked at the University of Oregon’s School of Journalism and Communication for nearly eight years in the development department. Initially providing administrative support to the Development Director and then later transitioning to an assistant director role working with alumni and donors and providing updates on the school and their donor advised funds. 

I was born and raised in Eugene and attended North Eugene High School and graduated from Western Oregon University with a degree in 2004. My husband, James is a high school teacher at Thurston High School and the Head Cheer and Dance Coach at Oregon State University. We have two boys, Mason (6) a Kindergartner at Saint Paul Parish School and Lincoln (2) who spends his days with Grandma and Grandpa!
