Quinlan Stein grew up in Dodge City and Hoxie, Kansas, surrounded by a sea of purple and a family of K-Staters. Quinlan attended Southwestern College, in Winfield, KS, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in History, and minors in Religion/Philosophy and Leadership Studies. As a student, Quinlan was President of the Southwestern College Philanthropy Board, and a leading member of Leadership SC, a service learning leadership organization. Both groups helped develop her strong passion for philanthropy and higher education. Before joining the KSU Foundation, Quinlan worked as a Development Officer for Pi Gamma Mu, International Honor Society in Social Sciences. Quinlan is very glad to be living in the Little Apple, building new relationships with K-State alumni and friends.
