Gloria Kemp carries out a variety of tasks related to administration,
outreach and development at the Institute. Before joining
the Institute, she was a class teacher at Hawthorne Valley
School, just down the road - a role in which she has twenty-four
years' experience spanning her tenure at two schools. During
these years she also served as a chairperson of the board
of the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America and
as a consultant to Waldorf schools nationwide. In addition
she was director of Waldorf teacher training for the summer
teacher development institute in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Waldorf
schools, of course, have a special openness to the Goethean
approach to science.
Currently Gloria is chairperson of the Waldorf Schools
Fund, Inc., and also of the Rudolf Steiner Foundation's
Global Community Fund. Before her connection with Waldorf
education, she was an associate dean of students at New
York University's Graduate School of Business. There she
coordinated and supervised the operation of admissions,
recruitment, public relations, publications, financial aid,
academic advising, career counseling, housing, international
students' services, exchange programs, and student activities.
She has an M.A. from NYU as well as a B.A. in literature
and philosophy from California State University at Los Angeles.
In her spare time Gloria is a "fanatic" handworker,
using natural fibers for knitting and crocheting. She is
beginning to explore plant dying. Possessed of a love for
traveling, she has visited several continents and, for one
summer, taught English in China.
