With all the attention on our new president, don’t forget about the wonderful and powerful women at his side, Karen Kaler!

Ms. Kaler was born in Nashville, Tennesse and majored in art at University of Tennessee. She worked as a graphic designer in the Twin Cities, working with Eddie Bauer and others. She later founded a design firm that works with nonprofits. She has volunteered with the University of Delaware Women’s Club, the PTA, and the New Ark United Housing Ministries

She can be seen around campus with her husband-and even sporting awesome shoes! This picture was tweeted from @PrezKaler, explaining Ms. Kaler’s “mullet shoes.” 

Edwina is entering her senior year at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities where she is majoring in Public Relations. This past summer she worked as an orientation leader for Orientation & First Year Programs and was the marketing intern at Mill City Farmers Market. She loves chai tea, the Chicago Bears, country music, and exploring Minneapolis! For more info check out http://about.me/edwinareckel and you can follow her on twitter @ersreck!
