Kathryn Norton
Norton worked at the College of Charleston for almost 30 years and served as the director of operations in the School of the Arts. In her role, Norton worked with Spoleto Festival USA, the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts & Humanities and other regional and national organizations. She also served on multiple campus committees to help coordinate commencement and other large-scale institutional events. Her tireless dedication and service to the College was driven by her love of the students, faculty, staff, artists and volunteers.
