Stella Luggen

Program Manager of Veteran Student Affairs

513-558-9423

I enjoy being active, getting outdoors in nature, spending time with family, cooking, and reading. I play doubles and quads sand volleyball a few times a week; I love hiking, camping, backpacking, kayaking, etc., anything that gets me out and active in nature!

I graduated from Miami University with a BA in Psychology and a BS in Family Studies. After college, I served two years in AmeriCorps in a college access and success program at a non-profit adult education center in Lower Price Hill. I transitioned from that program to Events Coordinator, Facilities Manager, and finally to Facilities Director. Due to burnout, I left that organization and started at UC Blue Ash in 2018 in the One Stop office. I spent six years in that office and was promoted to Senior Specialist the last two. I was offered the Program Manager position in the Veteran Student Affairs Office in June this year.

Through this role, I am tasked with fostering a welcoming environment for student veterans through educational outreach and program management. My responsibilities include recruiting veterans, liaising with the Clifton campus Veteran's Programs and Services Office and the Veteran's Administration, and implementing services and events to support veterans and increase campus awareness.
