Michelle Gravel

Michelle Gravel joined WashU in 2003 making this her 21^st year here. Originally from small town Iowa, Michelle moved to St. Louis following college at Drake University and law school at the University of Iowa, to join the law firm of Bryan Cave. After a few years of practicing law, Michelle shifted careers and joined University Advancement, first fundraising with parents of current students, followed by over 18 years working with alumni and parent volunteers in the Alumni and Parents Admission Program, and recently moving into a new position managing the Alumni Board of Governors and working on overall volunteer engagement strategy. Michelle is a proud city resident who spends most of her time outside of work juggling the activities of her two teenage (yikes!) kids along with her husband (a WashU alum).
