Horn, a native of Clarke County, Ala., and a first-generation college graduate for
her family, is excited to be able to have a national “voice” for women's issues.
"I am humbled by this opportunity and excited to serve as a member of the NASPA's Center
for Women Board," Horn said. "Not only do I want to contribute to research in the
field, but I also want to serve as an advocate and mentor for those women aspiring
to gain leadership positions in higher education. There have been many gains over
the years for women across many spectrums, but this is an opportunity for me to promote
gender equity and diversity in a space that has both individual and societal impacts
for many."
Horn credits ASU with providing her with a quality education and with introducing
her to faculty and staff who challenged her intellect and fueled her desire to help
others.
"Working in the University's office of Institutional Effectiveness has allowed me to be in close proximity with many ASU leaders throughout numerous academic areas who advocate scholarship and pride, which includes Dr. Christine Thomas and Dr. Aquanetta Pinkard; who both are among those who have provided me with the inspiration and leadership to always strive for the best," Horn said.
