Advising Team

Schedule an appointment with Kate

Hi there! My name is Kate Tisch and I am the Director of Advising. I have been at Alverno since 1994 (wow!) and enjoy working in this amazing learning community. My undergraduate degree is from UW-Madison in Exercise Physiology. I also have a graduate degree in academic advising from Kansas State University. I am married and have two adult children (one at home and one on the East Coast). In my free time I travel, golf, read, watch HGTV and attend many sporting events, but especially Brewer, Badger and Packer games. I love gardening and look forward to my daily dose of “dirt & flower therapy” in our non-winter seasons. I encourage students to make the most of their education by following their curiosities, strengthening their interests, exploring new ideas and taking some risks. I loved both of my college experiences and want my advisees to feel the same about their time here at Alverno!
