Leadership

I’m driven by the opportunity to help students feel seen, heard and valued, contributing to a sense of belonging across campus.

The collaborative environment that WashU offers enables Adisa Kalkan, a program administrator at WashU Medicine’s Clinical Research Training Center, to succeed in her job.

Recently promoted to Chief Nursing Executive, as of April 1, 2025, Banez-Muth reflects on what keeps her motivated after nearly three decades at WashU Medicine.

As the director, she helps ensure that researchers carry out experiments safely and remain compliant with complex regulations.

I am grateful to land a position with PECaD to educate others about cancer prevention.

Seeing the events come to fruition, bringing campus members together and sharing exciting research keeps me and the team motivated on a daily basis.

While Chief Coonce has only been with WashU since 2022, she strives to be part of, and create, a team that makes meaningful, positive changes in St. Louis.
