Kristin Underwood ’13 first came to The Fund for American Studies in 2013 as a student in the philanthropy and voluntary service track of TFAS’s D.C. Summer Programs.
Through her experience interning at a nonprofit, combined with her TFAS coursework, she became convinced of the importance of philanthropy and individual responsibility in a free society. Following her TFAS summer, she was inspired to find ways to give back herself. She returned the next summer as a TFAS program advisor, and after graduating, Kristin joined TFAS full-time where she is now the director of marketing and communications.
Kristin graduated from Oklahoma State University with a bachelor’s degree in strategic communication and a minor in political science.
