Kat Slagell

Personal Bio

Hello! My name is Kat Slagell and I am the VP of Community Outreach. As such, I will be bringing community based events, volunteer opportunities, and services to the Postbac/Premed student body. Please reach out to me if you have any ideas or preferences!

I have a BFA in stage management from the Conservatory of Theatre Arts at Webster University and had a wonderful career in opera and live events before coming to Columbia. When I started the program in the Fall of 2020, I received invaluable support and guidance from the PPSC officers at the time and became an officer myself to help pay that forward.

In addition to my responsibilities with the PPSC and as a Disability Justice Liason, I held a year long internship in the Emergency Medicine Research Department at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, volunteer as a care provider for patients recovering from gender affirming surgery through QueerCare, and will be an intern at the Mt. Sinai Brain Bank during the 22-23 school year. 

I love traveling at home and abroad, reading, running, and taking historical walking tours of NYC!
